you are a sysadmin , what are you doing talking about politics .

LAS & techsnap are good shows , why ruin a good thing !

Saying voting 3rd party is wasting your vote promotes same mentality that keeps real choice and honest politicians from being brought to the forefront. Its not a protest vote, its voting for the candidate that you most believe in. I encourage everyone to look at both Gary Johnson (Libertarian) and Jill Stein (Green Party). The internet has proven to be very effective at giving tiny voices a huge audience. Money doesn’t mean everything, we’ve witnessed a commerce revolution, journalism revolution, media revolution, etc. from the rise of the internet. You of all groups should know how powerful a stage the internet can be and if we promote real choice and real candidates (instead of corporate backed shills) we can help foster a voice that’s being silenced by CNN, Fox, HLN, MSNBC, etc. I say this being a realist and knowing full well a 3rd party more than likely won’t win this time around, but if we build towards something greater, whose to say we won’t see a libertarian, green party, etc candidate being brought into the national spotlight next time around. I love Unfilter and all the shows at JB, keep up the great work and I wish you all the best.

P.S. Those who are fiscally inclined should know that Gary Johnson is the only candidate running whose balanced a government budget; when he left office New Mexico had a surplus. I don’t agree with everything he’s done or even all his ideas, but anyone who is for ending the every growing military empire we’ve become, bringing financial responsibility to government, and ending the war on drugs, seems like a pretty good guy to me.
