Before you go out to vote, realize that there isn't a single candidate who will fix the broken mess that is America, that they are all mercenary sociopaths or self-absorbed fools hoping to suck more life from the citizenry to line their cohorts' pockets or feed their tumescent egos.
But vote if it somehow makes you feel better about it.

I know this is kinda weird to say online, what with all the rabid Trump/Anti-Trump, Sanders/Anti-Sanders, etc, etc supporters, but I just don't care strongly enough about any one candidate to vote for them over the other guys. I'm sure I will vote for my party (or third party) come November, but I can't say I really see a clear "good choice" like I did in 2012.

Even if you don't care, at least go and draw a dick and balls on the ballot paper.

I just want to point out this depends on which state you live in. In Illinois, for example, you simply walk into a polling place and pick the party ticket you would like (regardless of affiliation - it only matters that you are registered).

Looks like a few of the states voting today are open primary.

You just have to declare. I change parties nearly every election depending on who I want to vote against or for. You can call in a request and they will mail you a form. Very easy process. The only drawback is you get political solicitations from everyone.

This is not true in open primary states. This is true in closed primary states.
