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?

I think you should vote. You are intelligent, kind, good hearted, and have honest feelings and intelligent thoughts behind your opinions. I don't have to agree with all of them to see that. You are JUST the kind of person who should vote. I don't think it matters as much for whom you vote (in your case, not in general) as much as that you do vote. There is no room for complaint among those who do not participate in the process.

Hmmm...that doesn't sound right because it makes it sound like I think you'll complain. And that's not what I am saying. BUt you know what I mean?
