The election is only 20 days away. Early voting has begun in some states, and others are about to receive their mail ballots very soon. We all are going to be staring at that category for “President of the United States” with a choice to make. And I’d say a overwhelming majority of the American people simply don’t like their choices.

I don't think America should elect any president in 2016. We need to be single for a few years and find ourselves

If only.

Now, depending on where you live, and what the polls are saying, many of us know that our presidential vote is essentially worthless. I live in an extremely deep blue state that voted for Bernie Sanders in the primaries, so the Democrats of the state are going to fall into line like good little minions and vote Hillary. If I lived in a swing state where my vote would mean something, I would have a much harder decision to make. But I don’t, so I get to make a decision that my conscience can live with.

I’ve decided to write in Mike Pence for president.

For me, at least, this has become the simplest solution to a quandary that frankly, has kept me up at night.
