i've actually been very busy updating in my head, but since you guys can't read those...:
our primaries are coming up. pretty crazy no? but between now and then we have a few more other states voting so hopefully we'll get a better picture of wat the rest of the country is thinking (3 elections: 3 republican winners; basically 2 elections: 2 democratic winners. wtf?)
as an independent voter, if i choose, i can vote democrat or american independent in the california primaries, but i most likely won't be voting for either. (i don't kno democrats well enough to vote for one of them, and voting for an ai would be like voting against everything i believe in!) i also most likely won't be voting either democrat or republican in the november elections.
some people have accused me of throwing away my vote on a 3rd party candidate, aka, someone who has no chance of winning the election. but i feel like i'd really only be throwing away my vote if either i didn't vote at all, or if i voted on someone i didn't believe in. (btw, i think it's funny reep thinks me voting 3rd party is stupid. it's like rooting for the underdog you kno? and honestly, if everyone felt the way he did, we'd never have any change at all. a black man as president? a woman? you gotta be kidding me!) why should i vote for someone just because they'll probably come out the winner anyway? why do they even need my help? (and in this election. i think most people would agree that republicans don't really stand a chance. so then really, why hold an election at all? why not just go for the white man democrat and save us all a whole lot of time and money?) the point is, you gotta vote for wat and who you believe in. so wat if someone else wins? i still don't like them. i still don't think they'd do the best job. so screw you! you'll win, but not wit my help. and wit thousands voting against you, even tho it's pretty clear you're gonna win, this should send you a message. and hopefully, you'll prove us wong, and do a great job. and if not, well, we never liked you anyway.

I don't think it's wasting a vote. Because the elections are so close this year, they really need every vote! There is absolutely no clear winner. So I say (as a person with a bachelor's degree in political science ;) ) Vote in who you believe in!!
