Sen. Bernie Sanders told CBS News he's "very disappointed" by the bill to end the government shutdown, calling a planned vote on health insurance subsidies "meaningless."
It is frustrating to watch. Each party chooses a candidate that party members want and neither candidate represents what the majority of voters want but they’re forced to pick one or the other. There is surely enough voters who want something different to elect a third candidate but people are afraid that splitting the vote will lead to the worst candidate winning and so vote for one of the two parties, feeling like there is no other option.
Canada has the same problem. A lot of us wanted to vote NDP in April, but were afraid splitting the vote would lead to a conservative win and so we voted liberal.
