RE: Lighten Up, Don't Take Your Politics Too Seriously

Political parties are so incredibly narrow and black and white with their views, more so in the US than here in Finland. I can't say I could be in favour of any particular party, and of course one's priorities keep changing throughout life.

The US election system where only one candidate is elected from an electoral district is problematic because it causes a two-party system form. Each of the large parties is an umbrella containing various factions. It's hard to find a platform that didn't have parts you hated.
I wouldn't mind voting an environmentalist party that was for nuclear power and somewhat more conservative values with a touch of nationalism than our Green party. But what can you do. If you like nuclear fission and don't want you know what's going on in Sweden and the UK but would like to protect the climate, there is very little you can do.
