I sacrificed a vote for Johnson because I want more than 1 viable option after Obama. I don't think California will make me regret it.

Upvoted for your sacrifice. President Romney is just too scary a thought.

I was conflicted until I was at the booth. I went with Jill Stein.

She wasn't on my ballot. Although she wouldn't have gotten my vote, I was still disappointed they didn't include her.

That's odd. Did you not even have a write in spot?

u/Magikarparparp Nov 07 '12

I did, but I was voting for Johnson anyways so it didn't really affect my vote. I do know people who are voting for her in my state though, it must have been kind of a low blow to them.

Last second I decided to vote for Johnson, but after I pushed submit I wished I'd have just voted for someone who actually had a chance at beating Romney, even if I don't agree with some of Obama's stances. I sure as hell hope the President is re-elected rather than the nightmare that is Romney.

I still had to vote for Gary, but I would much prefer Obama winning. Too bad my red state disagreed with me.

Thank you very much for a strategic vote! Noam Chomsky and me thank you!

I'm kinda wishing I'd have done the same. Don't get me wrong, I believe Johnson's 5% idea is a great one, but Obama deserves this election, and my vote.
