I was planning on it because the early voting location seemed a lot more appealing than the actual voting day location (which appears to be in some weird Mormon neighborhood) but I didn't.

Probably won't even vote now tbh.

Sorry, but voting now is like picking the least worst candidate,


You do know there are more than 2 candidates to choose from right?

Voting third party is a lose-lose situation for most. It steals votes from the lesser of two evils and sends a message to your side's dominating party that your vote isn't winnable because you're too far to the left/right, making them pander more towards centrist policies. x_x

Unfortunately right now I'm far more worried about getting power back at my house than I am about who becomes president.

Not necessarily. Voting third party, if enough people do it, could redefine the political landscape. I considered voting for Johnson just to add one more and hopefully bump him past that 5% barrier. Many others did just that, and it may actually be a reality.

Basically, it's only lose-lose if it doesn't work

I'll fly my pig to the voting booth the day a significant portion of Americans decide on a third party.

No early voting here unless you do the absentee ballot. I am trying to figure out what time of the day it would be the least busy to go and vote. Already decided how i am going to vote on everything including all the measures attached.

Not that I would do a write-in, but it really peeves me that it's banned in my state. Meaning if I decided everyone running was shit and didn't deserve my vote, I wouldn't be able to do anything about it except Note Vote for anyone.

You might be doing that in 2016 then I'll fly formation with you.

Seriously, I'm crossing my fingers, even if it is a libertarian. And for the sake of flying bacon.

Spring forum cleaning! Since it's a new month I'm closing all the old threads in room for the new ones. We close old threads from 6 months past with no activity. Please recreate if you wish to do so!
