Gump Posted October 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Replace party with you should vote for the candidate who best aligns with your beliefs and actually has a chance. IMO When you know the outcome will be only one or the other yet you vote for a 3rd body who has zero chance your vote is irrelevant in that election.

I refuse to accept any candidate that I believe will do the country great harm, no matter how bad the other candidate is. There is a point where you have to do what is right, regardless of whether or not you make a difference. If Stalin and Hitler were running which would you vote for?

The primaries are supposed to weed that out. I'd vote for the lessor of the two evils rather than waste my vote. United we stand. IMO certain people's reason to vote for something that has no chance is so they can feel special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The primaries are supposed to, but apparently the voting public is even more stupid than I expected. I would have rather cast my vote for nearly any other choice that was available in the primaries than either of the ones the major parties have provided us. Both VP candidates are also much better options than the top of the ticket. Since we have a choice that is much to close to Stalin vs Hilter I will vote for a third party. It may not have a direct affect on the current election but it can help to get that party on the ballot and/or debates in the next election. Which I think would be a very positive outcome.

Not sure the history. But do know that in most states parties receiving a threshold pct of votes in previous election are automatically on the next ballot. A little harder to break into the debates and/or get national attention but a strong election result even if not a win will draw attention. I am getting grief from family for not voting party lines but I was never completely convinced by a party and this cycle has left me completely disgusted.

Peeps like you and me are setting the stage for the next election. Our time to take this all back from the party voters that have f'd it all up is soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gump Posted October 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Let me know when it makes a difference. It's like the group of people who do nothing but are never happy with the situation unless they get their minority way, which never happens.

OsuMj Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 I think rallying for a different option IS doing something. voting for the person you dislike the least is 'doing nothing'. Change has to start somewhere. Just because you are in the minority doesn't mean you shouldn't do what you think is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted October 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Voting for someone with no chance is a "makes you feel good topic." Keep feeling special and let me know when it really actually makes a difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are doing it wrong, you need to vote for the guy/gal everyone else thinks is the 'best choice'. No matter how fucked up that choice is. It's not about the best person, it's not about what's best for the country. It's about their choice winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Republicans ever decide to return to actual conservatism and small government, I may consider tossing them a bone. Until then, they can fight without my vote. If the rest of you so-called conservatives would take one election and vote for an actual conservative, maybe they'd get the picture. But...keep fucking that chicken. Given theres only two options that have a chance at winning president and making changes towards your values, I fail to see the logic in voting for neither. But...keep fucking that lame duck.
