This has been discussed to death.

It's because the government/media keeps telling us that our vote wont matter unless we vote for who they, the government, tell us to and the people buy it hook line and sinker and absolutely refuse to question or challenge it.

So why not as a whole start doing more about it? While we're at it, why can't the country push for more punishment, when it comes to the media reporting false info on a candidate running for office?

Would it be fair to say, the media should be told to cover all parties equally if they decide to participate? It's our future, we should have the right to know the info without bending over backwards.

I'm doing my part. I can't speak for you though, obviously.

As for the rest of your questions: Free speech yo~

Sometimes it sucks, but it is what it is and I wouldn't want anymore restrictions on speech than already does exist. I for one, do not get my information from the likes of Fox News, MSNBC and such.

I told a friend that I was going to vote for Gary Johnson and of course he said I was throwing my vote away.

I replied that I was going to vote for the one that I agreed with the most. I also said that it is the people that vote Democrat or Republican that are throwing their vote away because as long as I can remember they both bitch about the debt and deficit and being the only 2 parties in power for the last 150 or so years they won't do anything about either one.
