that both political parties is too corrupt to be acceptable, except if an "outsider" decides to use the existing financial and political infrastructure for their own benefit- then it's an ethically pure "master chess player" using the "bloated, corrupt, ineffectual, lying establishment" against itself.

6. Of course both parties are not the same,

but both parties have proved that solutions to the larger issues facing our nation and the world are beyond their willingness to reach: Climate Change, The Dying Ocean, Wealth Inequality and many others. The fixes for these worsening calamities will come from the bottom up or they won’t come at all. The siren songs of greed are too strong for all conservatives and most corporate Dems. There is no magic fix waiting around the corner of 2018. We the people either push back exponentially harder than we are now or we keep racing towards the times where no one’s politics will mean shit....
