We're told to vote our conscience for President. However, my conscience tells me to cast my vote where it may have an effect, which is, unfortunately, for one of the two major parties.
I'd love to see the cycle broken, an independent President elected, and the Big Two shown that they can't keep crapping on us. But it's not likely to happen in our system.
Voting Independent, Libertarian, or Green may be a great way to make a statement, have something new to brag about at work, or just avoid a tough decision; but is it the proper exercise of our right and fulfillment of our responsibility?
