Johnson isn't getting a vote because he's all about deregulating employment at a time when employment is already disproportionately in favor of the company rather than the work.
And Stein isn't getting a vote because she publicly supports quack science.
At this point I think my vote for 2016 is Barr. She wants us to pull financial support from Israel, has overall sensible policies across (even if I don't agree with all of them) and has been campaigning for at least 2 elections now, so you know she is serious.
Additionally getting a third party that isn't just Republican/Democrat lite might be more refreshing to the long term goal of a diversified political landscape, even if it doesn't happen this election.

Do you mean Roseanne Barr? I don't think she's standing for election this year.
