    Yes, I believe so, but I chose to stay. I didn't vote, and if I did, it would have been for Gary Johnson. But he is still not the person I want in office, so even if he won, I'd still complain. That's my point.
    So, since the one person you want in office will never get into office, what are you going to do? Sit and suck your thumb? Don't we all wish that we could get the person we want in office and not have to choose between the three. You had weeks and weeks to vote, not just yesterday. But it sounds like it's probably a good thing that you didn't vote...

    If you believe that one of the candidates is the lesser of the three evils, you should vote for them because it would be better than not voting at all. You not voting is not going to change anything about those three candidates that you hate, but at least you can choose the one that is lesser of the three.

    BTW, why do you believe Romney and Obama are so evil and you wouldn't vote for them? I have Libertarian friend who voted for Gary Johnson and says that he also would have chose Obama.

      Lol what are you talking about?

      I never said he's the only person I ever want in office. I said out of the candidates this year, he is the only one that I'd want in office. But he didn't make the ballot. The people that did, I don't want in office.

      I could have easily voted if I wanted to. I'm not making excuses.

      I also clearly said that I was planning on voting for the lesser of the three evils. I understand that thought process. My point was, I would still complain if I voted for that person and he made it into office, because I don't think he belongs there. And I fail to see how that would give me any more right to complain about it, over someone who didn't vote because they also thought that none of the three belonged in office.

      I also never said Romney and Obama are evil. I said I don't want them in office. I have my reasons and I don't feel like, or have the time to, explain them to you - and I shouldn't have to.

      Why is it "a good thing I didn't vote"? You are obviously far superior to me, judging by your condescending tone, since you know me so well.

        I didnt vote because it was a lose/lose situation. It was like dumb or dumber. This once great America now has little chance of ever recovering. Now we have got a "kick the can down the road" do nothing president, OR, we could have had an overly-religious zealot who is out of touch with 90% of Americans.

        Whats sad is, these were our only choices.

          I'm a little late here, but I didn't vote because this is the first election I could vote for and I forgot to register on time. Even if I did, I never took the time to research either candidate and didn't want to vote unknowingly.
