Is it worth it to vote for a third party? Because I'm seriously thinking about it. I feel like it is sort of a "lose the battle to win the war" kind of thing. I want to vote. I feel guilty not voting. But I just CANNOT bring myself to vote for one of the two major party candidates. But I could vote for a third party. I'm not telling who or which one. I don't want to get into the debates and ugliness on LJ. But I've found a candidate I could get behind. Is it worthless? I know it will make no difference in THIS election. But the more people are willing to vote their conscience and support third parties the stronger they will become. It seems like they get stronger every election.

I WANT to vote for someone for the first time in months. Should I do it?

Same.

I realized that my goals would not be accomplished if I took my vote out of the "red" column and added it to the "other" column. It would essentially be allowing the blue column to be unchallenged. I would rather vote for a candidate I like less and accomplish some of my ultimate goals than vote for the person I liked the best and yet have none of the things important to me be accomplished.

if only more people would see it this way.

Agreed.
