It's a rigged ass game, I refuse to vote for the lesser of two evils. I'll happily "throw away" my vote with the libertarians or the green party, you know the party that's been consistently anti-war and anti-interventionist.

If voting did anything, it'd be illegal

you know the party that's been consistently anti-war and anti-interventionist.

And also anti-winning elections.

For what it's worth, Trump's been pretty anti-war. He's not Gandhi by any means, but both establishment Republicans and Democrats have been furious that he hasn't become more of an interventionist, Democrats with Syria and Russia and Republicans with Iran and China.

That's a great point. Trump totally gets a win in my book for not starting any new wars/occupations/interventions. I like the meme where Obama says I deported more illegals than you, and Trump says I took away more gun rights than you.

and Trump says I took away more gun rights than you.

Is that true though? Other than the "bump stock ban", which virtually no one cares about because no one even knew what a bump stock was before the Nevada shooting, nor is a bump stock a gun, what guns has Trump banned?

Yeah, I imagine it was just referring to bump stocks too.
