all i have ever wanted to be is a ‘good person’.
right now i feel like such a bad person. the idea is very dualistic and simplistic. the notion of ‘bad people’ denies the complex network of depth beneath a human being which operates on multiple and different layers.
if i give up the notion of ‘bad people’, i must also give up the notion of ‘good people’. does goodness need badness to qualify it? maybe a bad person is someone who is more parts ‘bad’ than ‘good’, but who decides that?
if ‘good people’ and ‘bad people’ are incomplete descriptions, then all i have ever wanted to be is only half of who i already am.
the other half is that which was marginalised and now lashes out.

If you don’t know who to vote for between Trump and Clinton, please consider voting for the Libertarian party for the following reasons:
-If you can’t morally vote for Trump and you also don’t want Clinton to win, a vote for Gary Johnson is a vote against both of them!
-If the Libertarian party receives at least 5% of the popular votes, it becomes a “minor party” in the eyes of the government- which means millions more dollars in campaign funding (in proportion to how much more than 5% of the vote they get).
-Once a minor party reaches 25% of the poplular votes, it becomse a “major party”, which means recieving somewhere around $91 million dollars (my source is 4 years old so it may have increased or changed since then) for general campaigning and $18 million for party conventions. Therefore, if the Libertarian party surpasses 5% this election and 25% in 2020, they will receive major party federal funding for the 2024 election.
-Eight years may feel like a long time to wait but it will only happen IF the Libertarian party reaches those numbers within the vote.
-If not, there is no guarantee what will happen with people like Clinton and Trump in office, or who will be running after that.Source (from the 2012 election): http://postlibertarian.com/2012/09/21/the-five-percent-threshold/
