When starting this great nation, George Washington couldn't have guessed how far technologically we would achieve. However, he did warn about how political parties can be detrimental to the nation at large. He was concerned about the parties attacking one another and not coming together to help run this new nation. The Democrats and the Republicans are those very political parties that George Washington had feared over 200 years ago. They are in a never ending boxing match that will lead to nothing but hate and division.
However, I have hope. Down below is a picture of Gary Johnson, the current Libertarian Presidential Candidate, who was the Governor of New Mexico from 1995 to 2003. I like the Libertarian Party because its political platform is generally fiscally conservative and socially tolerant, which I believe a good portion of Americans believe in as well. Over time, I think the Libertarian Party can mend the divisive relationship between the Republicans and Democrats due to its platform having ideologies from both parties.
Yet, a lot of people don't either know about Governor Johnson or the Libertarian Party platform. What the general public needs to do is have Governor Johnson get to at least 15% in the polls (he is currently at about 10%), so that he has a chance to speak at debates with Mr. Trump and Secretary Clinton. With so many people against either Trump or Clinton, wouldn't it be nice to have a viable third option?
