Throwing your vote away sounds like a bad plan to me. It's an important election.
If everyone or a very large percentage write in their votes, it's not a waste.
What would happen if no one showed up? I realize it's not going to happen, because people think like you. That we have to bow to the system.....
Yes, it's a waste. As bad as it is voting for president shouldn't be reduced to the American Idol.
It's not about popularity, it's about showing our Government who is really in charge, and, that we don't like how things are being run. Our voice is really only heard by elections. It's our only form of control.
Writing someone in means they weren't running for the job. You want someone that doesn't want to be there run the country?
Maybe there is a candidate that is interested but dropped out?
The point is to scramble the process and make a statement.
Instead of "playing there game" of voting for a "forced decision candidate" write in one you truly liked.
If you like none, I would not vote.
It has to be a movement and a well thought out one.
So, I can either take my free time and efforts into trying to hatch and plan and build a movement, or stay here and keep gabbing...
