    Right. It's looking like it'll be 3rd party or nothing on my end. I have a few issues and values I won't budge on. If I can't find a candidate that aligns with those, then I'll sit out this presidential election. I refuse to be apart of this lesser evil sht.

    I'd say exercise your right to vote. Even if it's for 3rd party, what particular issues are you concerned about?

    ^^^^^^^^^^THAT ? there.

    Look, even Jill Stein's views I don't 100% agree with. But I'm going to vote, period. That's the only way you can get your voice out there. YOU HAVE TO VOTE.

    Notice: I didn't say vote Democrat. I didn't say vote Republican. I didn't say vote Green Party, or Libertarian.

    I said VOTE.

    I don't see the correlation between a vote and my voice

    My voice is complex, a vote is not

    But I'm simple, pay me no mind

    I thinks it's cool if you want to vote and believe in that but don't push it on others. Older generations had their shot, let the youngins try their own way cause previous ways ain't work

    You're going to vote for someone you know isn't going to win as if that's better than the person who abstains

    I feel ya. Imo I think not voting only hurts and furthers the two party hold over the electoral college. Vote third party, if not its a self-fulfilling prophecy of the two party system. I believe there should be more choices and the presidential debate stage should be more than two people.

    I've been a pretty vocal supporter of Hilary on here, but I don't think she's the perfect candidate with the perfect platform. But I do believe she's the most qualified and has the most policy-driven agenda. I think what happens (and this is with most presidential elections) is people vote once ever four years and then expect politicians to do the rest. When really the fight should be every day for what you believe in.


    In essence I can see why not voting is a form of protest I just think it's a disservice to yourself. Leave the top of the ticket blank, and focus on your local politicians. You most likely have cousins, friends, or children who can be affected by politicians on the local level.

    So I just caught a bus from City Hall when I realized all the commotion was because Trump's in town....

    Every convo on the bus immediately switched to how much ? hate Trump.

    Those 400,000 votes from Philly bury Republican presidential tickets.....Lol Trump is dead meat in Pennsylvania.

    I wonder if the young people supporting Gary Johnson know what he and his party stands for. I doubt it. So does Paul Krugman:

    Krugman is a ? ? , for this reason: he makes the claim that voting for Johnson requires you to agree with everything that the Libertarian platform includes, but also claims a young voter who DOESN'T agree with everything Clinton/the Democrats stand for should vote for them because "it matters."

    ...so why does one party require my 100% agreement and the other not? surely he's not long in the bag for Clinton or anything.

    also, anyone claiming there's no reason to believe an HRC position to be "insincere" is either a ? liar or a ? idiot. you tell me which Krugman is.
