Voted for Mittens, not because I like him but because I dislike both candidates and just happen to dislike Obama slightly more than Mittens.
Face, meet palm.

I stared at it for a while, thinking it was a bad cat joke, before realising who you meant.

that's a bad thing to do. If you dislike both, find a party you DO like, and vote for them. They may never get elected, but if everyone did what you did, there would probably not be as many people voting democrat/republican.
Depends if he's in a swing state or not. Swing state, vote lesser of two evils. Non-swing, your vote means squat, so vote for the candidate you most agree with.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Galen's from Alabama, the deepest of the Deep South.  He definitely doesn't live in a swing state.

Strategic voting is the worst thing and you should ignore it. Most of the problems with our political system come from people trying to vote strategically.

To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.

It'll require far more than attitude change on the part of voters to fix our broken system. In the meantime, I'm fine with abusing its flaws :P
