Anybody but Obamney, PROTEST VOTE (thrid party)

[Imagine]

I am tired like most of our two party poltical system other countries have many functioning parties why not the U.S. So I am going to start the anybody but Obamney campain all you have to do is not vote for Obamney and vote for anyone else. If Jill stien (green party) is on my ballot my vote is going to her.  At one time I debated upon voting for Gary Johnson but he is to far to the right of the libertarian party to get my vote (not a big ancap or arms deregulation fan).    PROTEST WITH YOUR VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even write-in if you want.

I'm Baratt Obamney, and I approve this message.

No, but seriously, If you still v*te, don't v*te for either puppet. Hell, v*te Rosanne in. She can't screw it up any worse, and at least she'll be funny.

I've been on the fence about voting third-party, or voting Obama because he's not quite as bad and it would count for more.  Thoughts?

Not quite as bad? You're joking, right?

He's broken every campaign promise, and jokes about killing people with predator drones.

Please, Don't v*te at all, rather than backing him. If you must, v*te for one of the 3rd parties, or write in Ron Paul. Or Mickey Mouse.

sigh, I know.  I just can't bring myself to potentially help Romney win.

And there are people who think the exact same thing about Obama. Imagine if both groups voted Johnson.

                     I know what you mean but like myrkul said. As well as his bailouts for large coperate banks and wall street while he looked the  other way as occupy wall street was proded,pepper sprayed, tear gased and forced out of the parks and thrown in jail for peaceful protest. The republicans want to frame him as a socialist but in reality he isjust like them (Bail out the rich/ Ignore the poor) I like to compare Obama to president Jimmy Carter a desillusioned right leaning democrat.

Don't let the Democrats trick you! The only vote that helps Romney win is a vote for Romney. When votes for Nader "helped Bush win" in 2000 the Democrats were quick to point the finger at him and his supporters, but then what did they do to FIX the spoiler effect when they finally won power?

Nothing.

They did nothing to fix the spoiler effect and never WILL do anything to fix the spoiler effect because it keeps THEM in power too. So when we say "lesser evil" or blame ourselves for not compromising with 49% evil, they laugh all the way to the bank. Obama and his ilk have perpetuated this dilemma on purpose... that alone should be reason to refuse him.

Yes, there's a .00001% chance your vote will "let Romney win" because you could have voted Obama, but it's a scam perpetuated by both parties. Just vote for whoever you think is best - if everyone had the conscience to do that instead of try to game their fellow Americans, we'd be living in a much more peaceful place.

When there is even one scrap of evidence that your vote is counted in any way, I might consider it.     

Such evidence could consist of:

1) some attempt at a verifiable exit poll system, not controlled and "adjusted" by the people who bought the voting system
2) some attempt at a secure voting system, verifiable by the voters not just the people who bought the election

It doesn't have to be perfect.  I'd just like a little more attempts to pretend there is actually some counting of votes involved. 
That these things are possible and within budget is clear.  It is also clear that all attempts to implement them have been blocked.

This has been true for a long time, but it is has been coming to the head in the last decade as the people who wind up with the position are more and more clearly ones that did not have majority support, and companies like Dibold are more and more public with their commitments and sales pitches. 

Some people are upset by this; that's why all those imperial stormtroopers went to Tampa where they publicly announced the candidate would be chosen not by voters but by "officials".

I'm done with the two parties as well, no more lesser of two evils voting for me ever again. I'm voting Gary Johnson as I agree with him on almost everything he says.

    Couldn`t agree with all of you more,You get what you vote for and I know you have all heard that voting for a third paty canidate is a waste of your vote 1. Voting for either of these clowns is just as big of a waste of your vote. And 2. As for the people who say that it is impossible for third parties to win, the progressives used to be a thrid party and we are not trying to win (not yet but it is a goal). This vote is meant to make a statement the system won`t change unless you force it to.

Damn straight. Lesser evil are for chumps. Vote for the greater evils, and be rewarded with a quick death.

Waste of time. Third-parties have no chance of winning, so voting for them is pointless. Rather than wasting ~30 minutes voting, use that time to educate people about libertarianism (or whatever).

[Topazan]

What we need is instant run-off voting.  Then we'd be able to vote our hearts AND hedge against the greater of two evils.
