This is a great question, but it shows predjudice against the liberal persuasion.

Interesting. I think I see what you mean - I wish I could revise the question. Originally it was meant to have a range type of answer, but I didn't feel that the available labels fit quite right so I changed it to a multiple choice question and added the "I don't vote" option. I should have added a fourth choice - maybe something along the lines of "I vote for the person whose ideals or positions I agree with the most, whether or not I like the person"? As the question stands, though, I still feel this is covered by the "deserving candidate" option. That candidate is "deserving" to you because you agree with them in some way.

Yeah, see what you mean.

...and "I'm not living in the US" is covered by "Neither - I don't vote", I suppose?

Hmmm, as I often find myself diametrically opposed... I'm surprised to find my self, this time, in partial agreement with treborski, insofar as I too believe that this is a great question. Albeit, 'partially' because I fail to see how there could be any "prejudice against the liberal persuasion"!?
