All right, let's say that I've looked at the presumptive nominees from the Republican and Democratic parties--Mr. Trump and Secretary Clinton, respectively--and decided that I cannot, in good conscience, vote for either of them. What are my other options?
I, like most Americans, I expect, know little of political parties outside the Big Two. I've heard a bit about three other parties: Libertarian, Green, and Constitution. Based on just a little research, here's what I think I know so far:
Libertarian Party: Believes that government has become too large and too invasive. Supports the idea of limited government and individual liberty. Socially liberal, fiscally conservative.
Green Party: Kind of like Democrats, but with a greater emphasis on the environment--perhaps to the point of Maslow's Hammer, perhaps not. Would love to see Al Gore sign up and run for President under their banner. Decidedly liberal in their views.
Constitution Party: Believes in a strictly literal interpretation of the Constitution, with a special focus on States' rights. Profoundly conservative, they stand ready to absorb the Tea Party if/when the GOP mainstream finally shows them the door.
Am I close? I know some of you know much more about these parties than I do. What can you tell me?
