We always vote in the presidential elections so yes, we'll be voting. I always vote on party lines so it's an easy choice for me! Although regularly DH and I cancel each other out, we still always vote.

As a side note, I'm happy I won't be in the US leading up to the election. I've been in Ohio for three days and the campaign ads are already starting to grate on my last nerve.
It's so nice to watch the majority of my TV on Hulu or Netflix. I've been mostly unaware of the political ads.

I work for a political organization, so I'll definitely vote. I spent years studying politics and obviously politics is a way of life in DC. Most of the people that I know, whether here or in various global capitals, live for politics too. So yeah, I am definitely very political, though my views have certainly modified over time, no need to get into the details of that though.
I am generally a tolerant person and I appreciate hearing different viewpoints.
I am a firm believer in voting, although I am more convinced of its power on the smaller levels. Having worked in politics, I am absurdly jaded, but that only convinces me more that I need to participate if only a little. This election leaves me less than enthused, but, as I do still vote within the two major party system, there is one candidate I simply cannot vote for. This leaves me with my vote of "anyone but him."
