Limited time offer: Support Techdirt and get a Vote2016() t-shirt or hoodie!

It's only available until Monday, August 15th so be sure to order yours soon! T-shirts are $20, hoodies are only $35, and this time we've also added a sticker option for $4. Support Techdirt and get your Vote2016() gear today!

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

What happened to Paul and Elizabeth? The choice I am faced with now is what to do instead of vote on election day. To hell with your two party system. You old bastards won't rule the roost forever, and that day will come when you will have to either shit or get the hell off the pot.

My problem with this function is it isn't a reusable pattern from election to election. It should be more generic, like "voteCandidates()", voteElection()" or simply "vote()"

Funny, but...
Its a funny shirt, but fortunately (at least regarding the upcoming American election) we have more than two choices. Personally, I support Gary Johnson and think he is a genuinely good candidate instead of the lesser of the evils. Dr. Jill Stein is also running.

Re: Funny, but...
Yeah, for my own part even though I'm not a huge fan of Jill Stein personally (although saying she'd put Snowden on her cabinet is both ballsy and actually, the more I've thought of it, actually a really *good* idea in the hypothetical of her actually gaining office) I'm probably going to, once again, vote for the Green Party candidate. My state (California) is under no threat of sending electoral college votes to Trump, so I'd prefer my vote gets tallied up alongside other votes for a non-duopoly.
