while this could have a higher than usual number of third party votes we're another 'revolution' or two away from it being anywhere near enough, while i held out this far refusing to vote for hillary i'd probably do it if bernie takes the VP job, we're all gonna look stupid when like 9 percent of votes go to bernie and 5 percent go to jill stein then one of the two jerk off criminals wins anyway

if bernie is clinton's VP (which I don't think she'll do because of silly pride), I will vote for her. Otherwise, I may very well once again vote for the Zombified Remains of FDR. This election's getting worse every minute.

if you vote third party, at least you're showing that a non-negligible portion of the populace prefers "Other."

and you don't have to watch President Hillary while thinking I did this.

LOL if you think that any 3rd party would ever even register on the radar of either of the 2 major parties. I remember when I was a teenager too.

There's a reason that Bernie ran as a party democrat, if he'd ran as a 3rd party he would have never even made it to the first debate.

i went there multiple times and still cannot figure out if its just some tier of meta humor beyond my retard brain or what the gently caress is going on

they like deleted the bernie threads and have multiple hillary threads, most of them with minimal insulting of hillary and i don't understand how that happened in the same forum that personally paypal'd bernie like 65 thousand dollars

Somethings supposed to happen if one of them ever gets 15% of the vote in a general I think? I don't know if it's actually understood what, exactly, is supposed to happen because it's never going to happen.

If you're going to vote third party you might as well just vote for trump because all the Bernie supporters mad that he didn't get the nom are going to scatter their votes pointlessly while republicans who hate trump are still gonna fall in line and vote for him.


I am a Bernie supporter but also know that trump is way too insane and risky to be president so I am just going to suck it up an vote Hillary because voting third party is pointless and a guaranteed way to let trump win.

Number One I order you to take a number two.

Trump or Hillary? Meh. Neither can make America "great" again.

America could probably be made great again by a fascist candidate that marches all baby boomers into death camps where their fat is burned to power the construction process behind multiple modern nuclear power plants. Let the "greatest generation" be followed by the most "pragmatic generation" burning the most "worthless generation" (the boomers) between them to create the future of humanity.

Boomers suck rear end. And Trump is like the Omega Boomer.

Come on, Hillary will be like Obama in that her very presence will only keep emboldening these shitheads, while the Trumperor will probably completely dismantle the conservative movement by completely discrediting it for the foreseeable future. He's unwittingly the most pro-liberal candidate we could actually get this cycle.

quote:

according to the Kasich adviser (who spoke only under the condition that he not be named), Donald Jr. wanted to make him an offer nonetheless: Did he have any interest in being the most powerful vice president in history?

When Kasich’s adviser asked how this would be the case, Donald Jr. explained that his father’s vice president would be in charge of domestic and foreign policy.

Then what, the adviser asked, would Trump be in charge of?

“Making America great again” was the casual reply.

can someone explain why people think trump will somehow ban gay marriage?

nothing in his policy talks about gay people. I see facebook posts about trump being anti-gay and that they demand all their friends vote for hillary "unless they hate gay people" but the reality is that congress is the one to be afraid of, and i dont see anyone rallying to make sure to vote for the congressional races... its almost as if people have no loving idea how their own government works.

He has said both "suck it up, you guys lost that one" but has also indicated he would nominate a supreme court justice to reverse the decision so I dunno. I think he's more about punting it to the individual states.

The fact that the Republican Party platform states that is their intent might be a bit of a reason.

Were you a teenager in 1992, because Ross Perot was polling at 39% versus Bush's 31% and Clinton's 25%, before he completely hosed up his campaign.

Anyway the point isn't that there's a universe where Jill Stein can win, but rather 1. third-party votes show the major parties that they have something to gain by changing their approach, and 2. you aren't actually required to dip your hands in the crucible of lamb's blood just because it's there
