I am so completely disgusted with the political situation that I can't really offer any useful advice. I see the Democrats as generally wanting to do the right things, but so incredibly incompetent and spineless that they're not fit to govern; I see the Republicans as much more able to make things happen, but wrong on almost every issue and actively evil on a lot of important ones.

For my own ballot, I'll try to look at how close the major races seem to be by voting time. I'll vote for the Democrat if I think it's close, and Green otherwise to show my opposition to the two party system.
