Regardless of whether the president has much impact on your life, as a Californian, your vote has virtually no impact on who will be elected. In political circles it’s a given that whoever the Democrats run in California will win ALL of the electorial college votes for the state of California. And I guarantee this year will be no different. In the last several elections the republican candidate has not even bothered to do anything more than one or two token appearances in California.
There are three ways you can look at this:
1) Not vote since the result is a foregone conclusion.
2) Be a good sheeple and vote Democratic and enjoy the fact you voted for the winning candidate.
3) Vote for some radical nutcase candidate, hoping to send a “message” that you are fed up with the lousy bums the demrepubs give us.
My personal preference is #3, but then again I never have had much sense and always had a soft spot for radical nutcases.
