thank you very much for that answer.
Do you have a ritual or celebration after/before voting? I think it's good to have. I have a simple one: BBQ local sausages and locally brewed beer to celebrate I have the option to vote

For President and Vice President:
1. Clinton & Kaine
2. Johnson & ??? (libertarian)
3. Stein & ?? (green)
4. Trump & Pence
5. _______ (Write in)
If you put in some favourite guy's name in "number 5." how does that work as there are no electors then?
I usually vote for Green or Socialist candidates myself. How solid is this Stein?

When the ballots are calculated later in the evening we'll watch the ongoing count in TV.
Depending on whether my candidate/party is winning or losing I might even go to the city to have a few beers later.

Unfortunately, Stein, like most 3rd party candidates (including Johnson the Libertarian) doesn't have really great qualifications or a deep understanding of "the system"*. Perhaps this is a self-fulfilling prophesy thing, since "everyone knows" that a 3rd party candidate can't win, no one who wants to make a concrete, actual, not-just-by-"influencing the debate" difference in politics chooses anything but R or D when selecting a party to affiliate with.
John Oliver has an interesting take on both Stein and Johnson here.
BTW, I don't doubt the sincerity of either Stein or Johnson, I just don't think either one should be president. They could -- and perhaps should -- try for mayor of a large city that's had a series of disappointing chief executives. If it works out, go for bigger. If not, at least you had a Rob Ford of a good time.
*Whether one considers this an asset (a badge of outsiderism) or a liability (naivete) is of course largely dependent on one's personal views.
