Better to vote for a third party candidate than not vote at all. Or write in your own nominee to let your disenchantment shine through. If you're going to do the write-in though, be sure to make it something clever, so at the very least some poor vote counter can get a chuckle out of it.

I'm 36 and I have actually never voted so my decision is nothing new. I'd rather not participate and legitimize the BS two party system.

You're 14, right? Do they even teach civics at that age? Have you an inkling how the government works? Did you even bother to read Obama's positions? Romney's? The Democratic or Republican platforms?

Just because I'm 14 doesn't mean I watch the news and look at his policies.

The BBC is still, for the most part, worth reading. The NYT isn't terrible, far better than anything on the TV.
