Im in a state that a Republican stronghold so my vote doesn't really matter so I voted for Gary Johnson, the Libertarian party as a protest vote. I'm disappointed by Obama but fuck the Republicans.
Your vote totally counts and I'm pretty sad that that kind of mentality is so pervasive in this country. I didn't bother voting for Jill Stein like I really wanted to because I know that there are way too many woefully uninformed voters that planned to vote for someone who is starkly against most of my stances on fiscal policies and social welfare, so I couldn't be bothered with being apathetic about voting for a candidate that has the best chance of defeating R-Money.
I don't agree with the drone strikes and war crimes that the current command in chief has decided on committing or the continued active status of Guantanamo or the microscopically tiny efforts he's made to reforming education on a a large scale but I'm almost positive that my discontent with my government would be magnified if the other guy won. Still, I do say "fuck bipartisanism" just like most people who can see the fallacy within the election structure so, I did stick to Lib. And Green party candidates for ballots on the senate and local governments so hopefully within the next 4-8 years, having to decide between two pretty terrible candidates won't have to be an option for the next presidential election.
