You and I both know that that the election is fixed and the Democrat/Republican will surely win. Voting for one of them or wasting your vote on a third party candidate that has no chance gives the appearance that these elections are legitimate and open. Encouraging people to take part in these bogus elections helps to perpetuate them and nothing will change. I suggest we adopt a "None of the Above" vote and just stay away from them in protest. Just go and vote on the local bond issues, etc.
