Voted Early for Stein Today
That's right. And while there are many out there who will say this is a wasted vote, or worse, saying that voting third party is the same as voting Trump/Clinton depending on who you ask, I think it's far more wasteful to vote for the Queen or her Pied Piper Jester. Hell, if I were to post this on Orange State, Markos and his flying monkeys would have a fuckin' field day.
Why? Because voting for the Queen OR her Pied Piper plays right into the hands of the people who hold the country by the balls and by the purse. And besides, you can't expect the Queen to undo Citizens United anymore than you can expect the Pied Piper to change anything regarding the tax code unless it favors him and his ilk ONLY (i.e. the 'Death Tax'). Either way, the rest of us will have no representation.
So I refused to play that game. come what may. After all, the founders of this empire rebelled over much less.
See ya around,

Thank you for sharing
and voting your conscience.
Yay! Another vote for Jill!
Didn't you come away with a sense of satisfaction that you voted for a worthy candidate?
For me, it was sort of like a cloud lifted.

"Make dirt, not war." eyo
Indeed!
I don't think I've ever made such a feel-good choice for president! As a bonus, Stein/Baraka have the top position in the list of presidential candidates on the Ohio ballot.
If you supported Clinton or Trump
then your vote would have been wasted.
As you don't want either of those awful candidates of The Duopoly, your vote was well made.
Gëzuar!!
from a reasonably stable genius.
As I Mentioned
in my latest essay, I voted for her yesterday!
Welcome to the club! Congrats and thanks!
Good for you!
Would you care to discuss your down ballot choices?

If the Cubs can make it to the World Series, you can risk voting for a political party that cares about your concerns. We have a plan to halt foreclosures and evictions [more at Green New Deal]. We want to wipe out student debt. We can create jobs associated with green energy production. We offer an end to everlasting war. We are the Green Party.
I plan on hitting Ohio tomorrow. Can't give up. Not yet.
Life is strong. I'm weak, but Life is strong.

Cool beans!
I launched my vote the other day for Jill Stein, let us hope for a flood of Jill votes so that we see a breaking up of the corrupt and despicable fake duopoly that serves the 1% and corporates.
So long, and thanks for all the fish
There are plenty of non voters who feel the same satisfaction.
A large number of Bernie voters were non voters who saw a way to win the presidential election in November 2016, and registered to vote. They were activated by the Outsiders, Bernie and Trump.
Those on the Left have now returned to non-voter status. Casting a "happy" vote isn't worth the hassle for them. They won't vote for an incremental process with a possible future maybe. They will only vote to effect an immediate win for real change from the Establishment status quo.
Their satisfaction comes from not being suckered into anothered rigged Establishment game.
Unexpected election victory for a “Green” party in Lithuania
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-37745455
It’s called the Lithuanian Peasants and Green Union and is led by “a billionaire industrial farmer and land baron.”
Hoping for a Green upset in the U.S. too.
preferably without the leadership of billionaires
and land barons.

You go into an election with the Greens you have
not the Greens you might want or wish to have at a later time . . .
Paraphrasing from the past, when America and her Department of Defense danced to the tune of a different Donald.
Nice. I can't wait for my turn

Oooooo, I like that! Little
Oooooo, I like that! Little green fish ought to have big green fang-like fins up/down in the part forming the mouth, though.
Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.
A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.
Same here, voted early for Jill today.
A truth of the nuclear age/climate change: we can no longer have endless war and survive on this planet. Oh sh*t.
As it happens
I voted for Jill today as well, or, more specifically, mailed in my ballot.
