Forgive my generic response, but it seems like people say the same thing every election cycle:
"I wish we had more options than these two stupid candidates"
AND
"Voting for a 3rd party is a waste of a vote"
People just don't seem to "get it" and they regurgitate the same tired cliches. When I say I'm voting for a 3rd party they say "But he can't win because no one will vote for him" and if I say "Well, maybe I won't vote" they say "But what if EVERYONE didn't vote?" Wait, if I vote for the guy I like the best it's stupid because NO ONE will do what I do, but if I DON'T vote at all then EVERYONE will do what I do? Huh?
I just don't get people's perception of our system, biased and fixed as it may be. Sometimes I feel like D or R is like asking Coke or Pepsi when the real answer to that question should be "Hey, why is our society so hooked on drinking liquid candy, anyways? Can I vote for water?"
