It is perhaps pleasant to think that we accomplish true political change with our votes. And we all want some kind of change. Some of us might want a return to fiscal responsibility, or a government that respects the rights of all humans. Yet many of us feel like there is no hope with the candidates we get each time there are national elections. We see the same institutionalized corruption, and if there is change it seems that it is for the worse.Vote for the best of the choices offered, we are told. Voting for the "lesser of evils" is what this means if we truly dislike the options. Whichever candidate that is, it still means we vote for what we don't want and for policies that go against our values. Is there an alternative to this charade?
