On December 31, 2011, President Obama signed the 2012 NDAA, codifying indefinite military detention without charge or trial into law for the first time in American history. The NDAA’s dangerous detention provisions would authorize the president — and all future presidents — to order the military to pick up and indefinitely imprison people captured anywhere in the world, far from any battlefield. The ACLU will fight worldwide detention authority wherever we can, be it in court, in Congress, or internationally.
I'm personally not voting for somebody who will cause me to wake up in the middle of the night for the next four years in a cold sweat checking to see if America is gone, or if we are in World War 3, or some other crazy shit, just so we can get out of the middle east and stop harassing civilians for smoking pot.
Considering how rabid both parties are, I don't know there is any such candidate who DOESN'T fit those criteria. Bad qualities in a short list:
1. Libertarians:
-No safty net of any kind
-No regulation to keep corporations from becoming the plutocratic dictators we already accuse them of being
-No foreign policy outside of non-intervention
-LOLGOLDSTANDARD
-Many, many, lunatics support this party.
-Did I mention the lolgoldstandard?
2. Democrats:
-Can't tell granny that medicare and social security are going to make the young broke, but don't have the balls to nationalize healthcare.
-Clearly bent on forging ahead with green energy even though North American fossil fuel reserves are an easy ticket out of the poor house.
-Can't seem to end wars that republicans start.
-Won't tell Sharpton and Pelosi to shut up.
-Obvious Corruption
-DRONES
3. Republicans:
-Haven't had an original idea since Regan was in office and still have a fetish for his drug war
-Want to hand over healthcare to private companies (retail price for a kidney, inc)
-Actively seek to denegrate the rights of Gays, Women, non-christians, and people of lower socio-economic status.
-Are not willing to compromise on taxes and have insane tax reform ideas (see: 999).
-Fillibuster everything just because they can.
-Obvious Corruption
-WAR
Lesser of evils? I'm having a hard time seeing one. You know shits hitting the fan when the gay liberal progressive can't decide who is worse.
