Oh, I'll vote alright. But only for an anti-liberal Republican. Government belongs in your bedroom, not your cash register.

If I were murrican I'd found a communist party just for shits an giggles.

Seriously though, I think that people should get their shit together and build a new party from the ground up, as hard as it may be. This system of 'whoever gets the most money wins' should be outlawed and the donations to parties should have a maximum yearly amount, so those practices are kept under check.

Since it's unlikely that a new secular humanist party will sprout in the next few months though, I'd vote Dem. But just cause the republicans are fucking idiots.
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

If I were an American I would vote the same way as I do in my country. Cast my vote for the lesser evil to prevent a bigger evil from happening. So I guess, that would be Hilary with only two parties to choose from. It's been quite some time since I voted for and not against something. Seems it's no different across the pond.

The Democrat all the way - barring a very unlikely overhaul of the Republican party in less than 2 years.

And what's this 'Murica' thing?

How seriously can we take her denial that she is going to run?

well....

Quote:all of the women — Democratic women I should say  — of the Senate urged Hillary Clinton to run, and I hope she does. Hillary is terrific," Warren said during an interview broadcast Sunday on ABC's "This Week," noting that she was one of several senators to sign a letter urging Clinton to run in 2016.

Warren is a favorite among many liberal Democrats, and the release of her new book, "A Fighting Chance," has stoked speculation that she may consider a presidential run in 2016. Warren has repeatedly insisted she will not run for president.
"I'm not running for president. I'm not running for president. I'm not running for president." Warren said in a series of video clips shown prior to the interview.

There is a lot of behind the scenes shit that has to be done to get a campaign organized.  She hasn't done any of it.

That's disappointing. I really don't think Hilary is as honest as Elizabeth.

Vote third party. Nothing will change until the duopoly is broken.

I won't get broken by voting for people who can't be elected. Need to change the system first. Then vote for third party candidates when it is possible to elect them.
