xepherys · 10-27-2004, 10:17 AM

If you were able to cast your vote and not worry about it being "wasted", would you vote for one of the primary parties, or a secondary, smaller party?

Primary:

Democrat
Republican

Secondary:

Libertarian
Green
ANP
Socialist
Anything Else...

only a small survey so far but i'd be interested in knowing how the Secondary section breaks down.

personally i'm a libertarian left winger, somewhere between David Cobb and Walt Brown on the Political Compass

Edit: I became 'Tilted' with this post. What an honour!

Personally, I vote for whom, I BELIEVE to be the best choice. Party affiliation to me is way down on my list. Saying that, that is why I chose the one that says I don't know.

I'd vote Libertarian, and I'm going to anyhow. Looks like most people would vote differently if they could.

I would, and will, vote Libertarian. I do not consider it a "wasted" vote, as it is my vote to cast as I choose. My vote is my voice, and I will speak up. Besides, I live in Nebraska. It really doesn't matter who I vote for, because the state will fall to Bush. But at least I can still "speak".

I have to admit that I have not bothered to find out what each of the secondary party candidates support and believe, and thus I post 'not sure'.

I am leaning this direction as well. My state will go Bush also and I am considering a "protest" vote. I do not wish my vote to be counted as support for Bush, as I don't support him but prefer him to Kerry. If I lived in a swing state where it was going to be close, I would likely feel differently about this but I don't so I have a great deal of freedom in issue.
