Who you got?
« on: September 08, 2016, 12:18:22 PM »
The real purpose for this is to see how many people will be voting for Hillary since no one is willing to cape up for her. We have ardent Trump supporters, Gary supporters, and Jill supporters. Who is riding for Hil? Anyone?

Also I'd prefer the people picking the sixth option only do so who have voted in one of the last two presidential elections, if you never vote and don't plan on doing so now either, GTFO.

Why not just add a never vote option instead of roiding out?

I'm voting for Gary. Honestly, him having no chance of winning probably has a lot to do with it.

Because they wouldn't click it.

I only know two ppl that are excited to vote Hill.  Both are women, FWIW.  One even works for a non-profit that pushes for women's rights.  Both seem very obviously excited about what is/isn't between Hill's legs, and the historic component of that, rather than any actual issue. 


The other ppl I know looking to vote for her don't like that they are about to vote for her.

Not planning to vote for Hilldawg, although there is still a chance she could change my mind.

I think not voting as a sign of protest is kinda dumb considering how few people vote anyway.

I still haven't decided between Gary & Hillary. There are big things that are unpleasant about her, but I REALLY don't want Trump to win.

It is like the prisoner's dilemma. Do I vote for Hillary in the expectation that only her & Trump have a chance or do I just assume that Trump is winning Kansas and go ahead to use my vote as a protest/try to help the 3rd party get more prestige for next time?

Low information voters are one of the major problems in our system, Wacks.

I look at a vote for Gary as more of a vote for his party than a vote for the man himself. If he actually had a chance to win, I'd have to take things like him not knowing what Aleppo is a lot more seriously. You don't really need to know anything about Gary, other than he's not a part of Trump's party and he's not Hillary Clinton. He can't win, anyway.

Your identity is [redacted], not republicancat08. You're not married to the god damn GOP. You don't owe the GOP anything, and the GOP doesn't give a eff about you, anyway. Take a look at all of the candidate's platforms and cast your vote for the person who most aligns with your beliefs. It's not hard, but it does take a little effort.

Johnson gets a major mark down from me for not knowing what Aleppo was.   Pretty bad when a presidential candidate doesn't know what ground zero of a massive humanitarian crisis is.

Well, Trump had a similar issue with an Iraq discussion a few months ago, and we all know how you feel about Hill and her foreign policy. 

Who's left, Dax?

Yeah, can't vote for the earpiece or the hairpiece.  This sucks.

Well, if we are eliminating ppl based on one stupid thing they have said, Jill wouldn't dismiss antivaxers due to there "still being a lot of questions that need to be answered" as to if vaccines cause autism and whatnot.

So, who you got now?

It seems we need to ignore half of what anyone is saying to figure out who to vote for. 

Hill: not willing to overlook security stuff with email.

Trump: specifically asked an international advisor 3 times in one hour why we can't just use nukes on others

Gary: didn't know what Alleppo was

Out of those three, I take Gary.

I'm voting Hillary and am not excited about it.  Trump is just catastrophic bad imo.  I would encourage people to vote Stein or Johnson if they like either candidate.  I hate the thinking that one of the major parties is entitled to your vote just because they have a more likely winner.

Honestly, Jill's anti-vaxer friendly policy wouldn't even register among my concerns with the Green Party platform. Things like wanting a moratorium on GMOs and pesticides, ending high-stakes testing while also making college education free, eliminating uranium mines, fracking, tar sands extraction, etc would make basic living very difficult for the average American. I do like a lot of her stances on social policy.

That's a fair criticism of the GP platform, as a green myself I reconcile that by telling myself that the platform literally lives on the fringes of environmental policy simply as a way to distance ourselves from the Democratic party who have put special interests ahead of sound policy.
