The Evils of Two Lessors
Tuesday, November 8, 2016 at 3:00AM As I write this on Monday, I am still not certain what I will do. Since I titled one blog post "Clinton: Dangerous as Hell" and another blog post "Trump: Dangerous as Heck" you might conclude that I was leaning one way.
To explain my probable vote you need to understand my history of voting in California.
In 1972 I was not happy with either McGovern or Nixon. Both seemed really bad. It was my first vote and I wanted to vote. I was not sure what I was going to do when I entered the voting booth. I noticed that the American Independent party was on the ballot and my congressman was the candidate for president for that party. So I voted for him.
After returning to California after many years, I was also not happy with my choices in 2012—Romney or Obama. It just did not seem to matter. I was flirting with voting for the Peace and Freedom Party as their candidate, Roseanne Barr, had suggested bring back the guillotine for bankers. I noticed that the American Independent party still had ballot access. So I voted for their candidate. I actually do not remember his name! It did not matter.
So as I prepare to vote, I am still uncertain. I may just leave it blank, and vote against all the propositions. I will vote in favor of 53 as Governor Brown is against it. But the most likely outcome is that I vote for the American Independent candidate this year, I would not want to break with tradition.

don't let people try to force you into a corner. many people have lost their objectivity and will try to push you to one side or the other so that it is easier for them to argue with you.
