I understand party allegiance as emanating from greed lust for power and/or 
blind sheeple stupidity. In my politics I am reminded of Tvo, who said he 
did not ever recite the pledge of allegiance. I switch parties so I can 
vote in primaries. I have voted for members of several parties. I have zero 
party allegiance. I am a sovereign American and I will damn well vote for 
whichever individual I think is best for my country.

It is becoming very hard to be enthusiastic about someone to vote for. The 
higher the office the greater the compromises a candidate must make.

We need serious campaign finance reform. We need a cleansing revolution. We 
could do that at the voting booths.

Please consider the effect of always voting against incumbents unless you 
feel they have proved themselves to be statesmen/stateswomen/statespeople 
who are willing to risk not being reelected by standing true to their 
principles.
