I had my share of those, but I have the feeling that the current candidates are equally bad. If I vote for one of them, I am responsible for what they end up doing to the country.

I think what GFK_of_xmaspast is saying is that, even if you think that all (remember third party!) Presidential candidates are equally bad, you should go vote for the other things on your ballot. Local/state initiatives, local representatives, etc.

Honestly, in many ways, those are likely to directly affect you _way_ more than the President anyway. Most (all?) states will let you leave parts of your ballot blank; just don't pick a President if you don't want to.

Thanks for the clarification. I was thinking only in the candidates and I completely misread what GFK_of_xmaspast said. My fault.
