I don't feel like voting this election

In my opinion, John Kasich is the most reasonable of all of the candidates but he seems to be overlooked. I recently contributed to his campaign - the first time I've contributed to a political campaign. And I'm registered as an Independent!

I'm an Independent as well. I've voted GOP the previous two elections (2012, 2008) and Dem before that (2004, 2000).

I think Kasich isn't capturing the mood of the GOP party right now. They appear to be angry, hostile and fed up (with whatever they're fed up about), and Trump's brash tone of political campaigning appeals to them. Kasich is too low key, too nice for them at the moment.

I'll research third party candidates - thanks for the recommendation. I was hoping that Michael Bloomberg would jump in the race, but he reportedly isn't doing it.

Not voting is definitely not an option for me.

Even if you aren't excited about the Presidential candidates, there are other offices to vote for. You'll definitely have a House race, perhaps a Senate race, maybe other state and/or county races too.

Here is what I always tell my friends who constantly complain about this or that office holder: "If you don't vote, don't bitch!"

THIS!

As a civil rights activist focused primary on 2nd Amendment issues, I am tickled that Bloomberg chose not to run. I find him just as dictatorial as most of the Republicans, on an okay-for-me-but-not-for-thee stance.

But unless Kasich can pull out a win, in which case I will reconsider, it's third party for me this year.

You have something against voting for winning candidates?
