U.S. 2016: For whom will you vote?
|
I plan to vote for Hillary. While she's not my first choice for president (Bernie was), I'll gladly darken the oval for her rather than allow some blowhard buffoon who doesn't know what the hell he's doing get the job. Not like my vote's going to matter much anyway, because my state will go to Trump regardless.
And don't tell me that a vote for a third party candidate is not a wasted vote. While I wish we had more powerful minor parties, the simple truth is that we really only have a choice between Dems and Repubs (or just Dems if you ask me). Third parties are caught in a catch-22: Nobody wants to vote for third party candidates until they become a viable option, and third party candidates will never be a viable option until more people start voting for them. Yes, you can cast your vote for Gary Johnson or Jill Stein, but in the end it's not going to matter. If Jill Stein couldn't even get on the ballot in all 50 states, why does anyone think she's going to win the presidency? The only thing voting for a third party candidate does is say "I reject the two major parties."
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Quote:Gary Johnson’s poll collapse is happening, as predicted Quote:Polling that includes Johnson has shown him drifting lower in support over the past month or so. Quote:This comports with what often happens to third-party candidates as the election nears. Polling in the mid- to late summer often over-represents how much support third-party candidates will get. Once it comes time to actually vote, a lot of that support moves back to the major-party candidates. 
My wife voted today. She got me a "Future Voter" sticker.
Certainly Inspirational!

Not sure how long the process takes but after that I can vote. Dual National probably. There's not really much reason in giving up British citizenship because the US doesn't require you to and the UK don't make it difficult having both either. It might be advantageous in the future to be able to travel / work in the UK without needing a visa. 
HRC. Not my first choice obviously, but crazy, crazy and stupid are the only alternatives.
