Anthony Aguilar

The least bad of two bads.

So

Looking into the parties to run with, I felt I cannot, under good conscience, morally and ethically, run with Democrats or Republicans.

I cannot align myself to not only what they have been doing in action, but what their actions over the last, frankly, the last decade have been.

Same for the Republican Party.

I mean, even worse.

So...

I looked at this and I'm like, what is the history of American politics and why do we just hold so tightly onto this two-party system?

And you know, it wasn't until our 18th president,

Grant, before we broke into this two party system.

And since then, we've had 19 Republicans and 11 Democrats.

And where has it gotten us?

We're at war with the world.

We're in debt through our eyeballs.

We're selling off our children's future.

We're destroying the planet.

We have people in America that can't afford health care, put food on the table.

Before we had this two party option, whether you could choose a Democrat or Republican, you know, George Washington himself ran unaffiliated.

Then we had the Federalist Party.

Then we had the Democratic Republican Party.
