Yes, it would have been nice if everyone voted for not-Trump and not-Hillary.But convincing Americans to think outside of the two-parties is impossible.
Especially when both parties have greedy people and a lust for power. They don't always push the most qualified candidate, the one who will do the most good. In short, they don't always push the best. We see this in who the Democrats and Republicans both chose to eventually throw their weight behind this past election.
People can talk about the results of the election and who won the popular vote, but fact is these two people were some of the most unliked candidates in our nations history. That, if anything else, should have us re-examining the way we do things when it comes to politics and government. So many people on both sides voted not because they supported the candidate, but because they merely felt the opposition was worse. I'm one of those people.
Never have I heard the phrase "lesser of two evils" more than during this election.
