Yeah, I find it funny how most of the people writing here don't actually like either candidate. You've all fallen prey to well-engineered mudslinging though. Neither candidate is horrible, but neither candidate is worth voting for, and here's why:

Voting for a President is a waste of time. The president, while he is a psychological leader of the United States, has virtually no policy-making power. Unless there is a president with a party majority in congress, nothing gets done, and when there is a majority, the things that get done are immediately repealed as soon as the other party gains a foothold. Why? Well, I think that is a simple enough question to answer. The two party system is polarizing. Our political system is completely broken because of the two-party system. Until we get a multi-party system, progress in the United States will be completely stagnated. There needs to be something to facilitate cooperation, and a strong third party is the answer to that problem (or even more than three parties is preferable).

I also said that neither candidate is horrible. While I think it is silly that I need to point this out, Romney is a very smart, very successful business owner and Obama is a Harvard grad (almost certainly making him a borderline genius) who is a lawyer and a self-made millionaire. I mean, Jesus Christ, I certainly wouldn't consider any one I know to be more qualified to lead and I have friends at MIT, Harvard, Yale, etc. People who whine about the condition of the candidates are truly comical. First of all, don't believe everything you hear. Secondly, one is perfect, and there will never be a candidate that wins the presidency untarnished by campaigning. The ignorance of the masses makes liars out of any politician who stands a chance of winning. Until a candidate can expect his honesty to be rewarded by an educated voting base (good luck with that) you will never know what you are voting for. My suggestion: don't vote, and if you do, just pick the smartest one and pray to your deities.

I actually agree with the guy in the adjacent column, but there's not an effective button for "fuck both of them". Truthfully, I don't even think I'm going to vote. Every four years we are giving two non-options that are selected by the Party System and we're supposed to pretend that we have an actual choice.

Fuck Paul Ryan.

Obama's going to win. Nobody runs against a Kenyan and wins.

I'm NOT voting for Obama. I only chose this side so that these people don't feel lonely ;)

Obama. Look at me, do you think I want to loose my food stamps.

I hate both, but Obama is better than Romney.................................................

I already voted for President Obama and I am happy that the majority of of voters agreed with me.

I'm not an American citizen, but I get a point for posting this argument. Fuck Obama the child murderer, and fuck Romney the corporation loving poor hating bastard.

He is more famous than Romney. He is also quite stupid. However, I followed my conscience and voted this side
