Okay, here's the deal. By now we ALL should have figured out that very few people are comfortable with the candidate their favored political party is offering them in the upcoming general election.
There's talk about not voting at all. There is talk about voting 3rd party. It should make for a very interesting election as the ever changing conditions on the ground offers no real assurances for either candidate.
So, rather than asking people who the are voting FOR, I am asking people who they are voting AGAINST. Because, more times than not, that seems to be the case.
Why not both?
Well, that's a good question.
Perhaps, because voting 3rd party, albeit independently righteous, can be argued as to be doing nothing to assist in the vote AGAINST the more demonic of the two real candidates.
So, one would not be doing their part in helping to prevent the disaster they feel one candidate will create over the other.
It's like choosing between lung cancer or pancreatic cancer huh?
Perhaps. I dunno.
Doing nothing to assist in the vote against the more demonic of the two "real" candidates can also be looked at as refusing to participate in humanity's self-destruction.
This is true. It would surely allow the 3rd party voter to stand at the top of the smoking rubble, that used to be the USA, with moral dignity.
Moral dignity but still losing the election.
Both. Refer to my signature.
Well now.
Here's a kick in the pants for ya.
I have just created a poll that I can't even get myself to vote on. One way or the other. Are any of you guys having the same problem?
Although I do feel that it is more important to keep DJT away from the White House than HRC, I still can't make myself accept the fact that it means I'd have to vote for HRC to make sure DJT fails. Such a dilemma, hey?

That feeling is exactly why Trump will win.
Yeats said it best:
"Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity."
November will see the most massive and angry white working and middle class vote in history.......while the rest muddle in confusion.
I am voting against ignorance, tyranny, and the corrupt 2-party system, which essentially means......I am voting for no one.
