Vote third party. Be a vote splitter. Piss of the corporate parties.

I'm thinking hard about it.

The only Democrats I'm currently considering affirmatively voting for are Dodd and Kucinich, and the odds that either of them will make it past the primary are exactly nil.

I really, really don't want to vote for Obama or Clinton; it seems more likely that Clinton'll make it to the general election, and I'd certainly like to see either the first black president or the first female one, but not these ones -- neither of them has anything vaguely resembling the courage of their convictions. Hell, for that matter, neither of them seems to have anything vaguely resembling convictions, at least not ones which are significant enough to be discernible with the naked eye

And sometimes going for that 3rd party vote splitter gets you just that - the 3rd party - the one that no one actually wanted but they were unwilling to vote for the others. (see MN & Jesse)

Until we get the whole system overhauled where every single vote really does count it is going to be a crap shoot no matter what.
