It's a frustrating dilemma.

The way I see it, keeping either party in power is slow death. So long as people are willing to vote for "the lesser of two evils", then both parties will continue to do what they're already doing, which is leading this country closer and closer to terminal political paralysis and stagnation. It sounds good in the short term to vote for one to keep the other out of power, but in the long term it's pointless.
