Election Day Advice

Election day is fast approaching and I am sure most have decided who they are voting for in this election. I felt compelled to say something from the heart and hope that it is heard and understood. This election is not like any other election. I feel we are faced with having to choose between two great evils. There is no lesser of two evils for this one. Sorry.
I am sure we have all heard the addage: "The lesser of two evils". Personally, why are we even choosing evil even in the lesser form. Evil is evil, no doubt about it. I don't know about you but I'd rather have a good person for president. We as a people should stop complaining about the president and congress. If you elected people on the basis of the lesser of two evils, then why are you surprised this country is in bad shape. As it stands: In 2015, USA was ranked 28th for healthcare and now in 2016 is ranked 37th. Hmmm. Then there is the jobs, seems we are 19th in the ranking. Hmm. We're 20th in education. Going over the reports and seeing the top 10, I noticed a pattern of "no standardized test". Interesting. And 33rd for environment. Hmmm. You sure you still want to pick the lesser of two evils. I know we are not these other countries but our so called genius here aren't getting the job done. It's time for either new ideas or look at how other countries are doing it and try to shape it to the way we do things here. It's obvious the Department of Education needs to go as they are not doing our kids any real favors. We don't always have to be #1 but maybe strive to be the best we can be and lead a good life. Just saying.
I know everyone has a right to pick who they want to vote for in the election. But don't you think we deserve a morally ethically way of campaigning? My suggestion would be to limit the candidates to their voting record. That's what they should be defending, why they voted they way they did. No more mud slinging. Each candidate should focus on the positive things they voted for. Now if there are candidates that have no held office yet, moderator can bring up something that was voted on and ask the candidate simply, how would they vote on this and why. I see this process as nothing difficult. And as moderators, I think there should be time to be alloted to where we as a country rank in the world on things like: healthcare, jobs, crime, education, etc. Then ask how they would fix the things where we are really ranked low on. Just saying.
With all that said, lets just avoid the democrats and republicans as we all can see nothing is gonna change with them. I say vote 3rd party. I'd like to suggest Green Party candidate Jill Stein. This woman took the time, unlike other politicians, and went to North Dakota. She showed great courage and supported those who are protecting everyones right to clean water. Unfortunately, the peaceful protestors like those of old are being harmed and harrassed by greedy companies and a government that turns a blind eye. I applaude Stein for doing the right thing. Maybe it's time for a fresh approach on government. You can't keep picking between two parties that will do whatever they want once they get into office. Yet you expect a different result. It's insane way of doing things. Like I said, let's give the 3rd party a chance to show what they can do.We all know what the other two are capable of doing.
