I think the problem these days is I feel like in the US I have to two crappy options to choose from. This last time I went to vote against a guy. That's how I thought about it. It wasn't that I was voting FOR the guy I filled in the bubble it's that I wanted to vote against the other guy.

Not that it mattered. My state votes the same way every stinkin' time. We'd vote for a tree if it were from this particular party.
