Reaction every time I see this question: "Yes, but it's a shame the government doesn't."

Exactly. I fail to understand why supposedly-intelligent, supposedly-educated people are too stupid to see that "I'm not voting for them because they don't have any chance of winning" is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
As I've observed before, the Repudemoblicrats -- or Repulsocrats, I like that -- can stay in power FOREVER just so long as they can keep 51% of the electorate voting for the lesser of two evils. I don't fucking care how much you [not you, that's a rhetorical "you"] justify and rationalize your maintenance of the rotten status quo by saying you're voting for the lesser evil to keep the greater evil out; it's time to admit that if you voted for the lesser evil, YOU VOTED FOR EVIL.

It is usually obvious if your vote has a hope of making a difference. President being the obvious one, only if you live in a swing state is there any chance it will matter at all, and even then, it is extremely unlikely. The smaller the race, the less acurate the polling, so I can see not being the knee jerk Libertarian that I usually am.

I see elections as the ultimate public opinion poll, and that is why voting your heart is the right choice, it isn't a horse race, you don't get money because you voted for the winner.
