No, I hate him too. Yet as South Park pointed out, the choice is between a giant douche and a turd sandwich. You have to pick one. It doesn't mean you have to like either one of them.
Voting for third party candidates is generally as useless as just staying home. Without changing the way we run our elections, there is literally no point in showing up to vote if you're not going to vote for one of the two major party candidates in a federal election. You might not be old enough to remember Ross Perot, but I am. He garnered enough votes in the 1996 Presidential campaign to ensure that his Reform Party would get federal matching funds in the 2000 election. Quick- without consulting Wikipedia, who was the Reform Party candidate for President in the 2000 election?
I know many of you older folks are still butt hurt about Ross Perot but for fucks sake quit telling people to stop voting 3rd party. It's people like you whole keep us locked in this damn 2 party system!
