I am an Independent and I prefer divided government.  I do not want a government that caters too much to maniacs like you or your counterparts on the right.  I could go through and discuss your hysterical talking points but it's not worth it.  I suspect you are a difficult person to have a conversation with and that people cringe whenever you bring up politics.[/quote]

What a ridiculously uninformed statement.

The Republican Party and the Democratic Party are two huge umbrella organizations, each with a constellation of beliefs and political principles. If you vote straight ticket and get a government that is all one or the other, you STILL GET DIVIDED GOVERNMENT. Because each of these parties are made up of extremists, centrists, and everything in between. Elect just one party to power, and they'll debate among themselves just as hotly as they do with the other side.  It won't be all abortion, hand-outs and free immigration, just as it won't be all controlling women's bodies, cutting programs and throwing immigrants out.

You seem to forget that there are individuals behind party affiliations. None of them agree perfectly with each other. Some are more aligned with people from the "opposite party". 
Some will squash their extremist wing if they come to power just because they don't need their support (hello, should ring a bell right now!).

My point is, don't purposefully split your vote in the erroneous belief that it will somehow make for better governance.
