What beliefs would exclude you from both sides?? I feel like you're making this up just to seem "different" tbh
In America that's dead easy. Try being pro-choice, an LGBT ally, for personal liberty, anti-corporate, pro-gun, and pro-environmentalism. You can salt and pepper that with whatever other opinions you choose.
Ain't nobody in power catering to you. The Democrats are all kissing the asses of megacorporations and are anti-gun-ownership, because they're all little tin pot authoritarians just like most professional politicians, and don't want anyone being able to challenge their authority. And they've been demonstrably strongly against personal liberty in general since forever. Meanwhile the Republicans are simply insane, and I don't think I need to delve into detail there considering the rest of the content in this thread.
So who does that leave anybody with?
The notion is, hold your nose and vote for the Democrats because they'll screw you over more slowly. And by and large that's what we do, because there is no other viable option.
