I don't plan on voting for either.
We can definitely agree on that front.
I do have to disagree about the Republican's being the forefathers of election fraud.
Election Fraud has been going on all over the world for ages, by both sides
I'm not trying to say that the republicans are good and the democrats are evil, because, in my opinion, both sides are neutral, it all depends on who's currently running in them. Both sides, currently, are filled with corruption, have been for decades.
I agree that it's always the establishment v the opposition, but might it be that both the democratic and republican parties have become the establishment?
There have been many examples of the illusion of choice that have crept up in governments across the globe, might this be another one of those examples?
There are those in power who want to control people, who want things their way, we don't usually hear about these people in the media, etc. because they have a vested interest in keeping themselves hidden. This always sounds like a sci-fi novel, but it's just common sense. There are incredibly rich and powerful people in the world, we can agree on that. If I was super rich and powerful I wouldn't really want to be in the public's eye. I would want to keep hidden and control from the background. The people can't revolt against a force they don't know exists.
Personally, I don't like either of the candidates running for either parties. When it comes down to the actual issues, I'm right in the middle of the spectrum. I'm neither a democrat, nor a republican. Why? Because I don't believe either side has all the right answers. I don't prefer a two-party system wherein you're either one side or the other, because what if both sides aren't ideal? Then what? You're stuck with the whole "less or two evils is still evil," situation.
I suppose I'm just going on a tangent at this point, my main idea is that it's not really the republicans or democrats that are evil, it's the people running in those parties that are evil.
As we have seen in the past, there are evil republicans, we have a current perfect example of an evil democrat. Does that make either party inherently evil? No. It just means there are evil people in the world.
(Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, gotta stop at some point.)
Edit: p.s. I do enjoy having a discussion with you.

I'll give you the last word on all of that. On a bright note, join me in supporting Russ Feingold for Senator from Wisconsin in 2016!!
He's the only candidate I really like so far. :)
