Except a republican presidential vote in California.

People who cry out that both choices are simply bullshit, and that they're indifferent to whomever reaches office; are you aware of the differences they actually entail? Change doesn't occur 'overnight', and it never has. Historical progression has always been, is, and always will be one event leading into another. Action, reaction. The "smoke & mirrors" of politics has always existed, and that's the inherent competitiveness and duplicity required to actually achieve office. You can't just play to your base. You have to appeal. Don't hate the player, hate the game. If anything, hate the media. Hate the fact that the average American (and therefore, an incredibly large portion of America) has not properly realized themselves enough to make an educated decision. Instead, they'd rather be entertained by a media which possesses an objective in their own right, which plays to the fact that a lot of people in this country are comfortable with having their mind made up for them.

Gary Johnson.

I will never vote for a president that subsidizes certain sectors of ag, outlaws marijuana and hemp, utilizes predator drones, spreads propaganda to allow public tolerance of invading Iran or supports the NDAA.

That's about the same as pissing every other country off in one way or other which we seem to take care of just fine.

No, there's a very clear, drastic distinction between the two. But there are a lot of countries we've pissed off in our history as a nation, this is true. As for who offers the better foreign relationships between Obama and Romney -- that should also be clear, as other nations have opined.

The lesser of two evils. I'm going to the polls tomorrow, but the president is one item I'm not voting for.

Voting for Obama.

I don't wanna vote for people based on their headshots, but there's like 40 people running for positions. Looking thru the Voter's Pamphlet and judging them, I gotta say half these guys look like assholes. Some of them are downright terrifying.

The AG position is a law clerk vs. a Federal Prosecutor/DoJ/Counter-Terrorism Violent crime unit sweet mother of mercy. Another position is run by a Democrat lady who has a daughter I went to school with, vs a soccer coach wearing a cowboy hat.

I ended up voting for Batman a bunch of times.

For the record, "law clerk" is a very rangy term. It can mean "intern at a rinky dink firm" and it can mean "did all the work for a United States Supreme Court Justice". In the case of Bob Ferguson, it's much closer to the latter (For the 8th US Circuit Court of Appeals... he was probably then rejected by SCOTUS, but SCOTUS clerkships are essentially impossible to get no matter who you are, and if you get one your legal career is set for life).
