Election time. Who are you voting for?

[dizmo]

OK American's! The time is nearing!!

Are you guys voting? And if so, who for?

 

I really hope everyone of legal age here is. There's more on a ballot than a simple Presidency.

It's your country. It's your future. Vote for it.

 

Don't worry Non American's, I've added a voting option for you as well

 

Let's keep it civil..

 

Truer words were never...

[Totallycasual]

There isn't any version of this type of thread that can end well lol  

 

On topic, i think a lot of people are just voting for Clinton because the alternative is a scary prospect.  The entire world is watching and worried about where this could go

Haha, I'd hope that people that don't want to back up their choice simply vote and carry on.

Really, though, politics should be debated, and I hope we can all be mature about it.

[Bestbuyguy]

So whatever happens, and whoever wins: America is going to lose

 

[No]

i like neither of them and im not old enough to vote anyway

In my humble opinion, I believe Hillary Clinton is a horrible example of what a female president could be, and she will only serve to perpetuate fears that a woman as a president is a bad idea. I think the first woman in office needs to do something amazing, something where she's remembered as being the first female president after some other accomplishment.   

 

I think Donald Trump will ruin many of our relationships with other countries. I think our government will stagnate with him in power, and that he'll either try to run the country like a business, which will fail, or he'll be a puppet who will only act as some smarter, politically experienced person tells him to. 

 

So, no, I don't like either.

You're not voting? There's so many things on the ballot, way more than just a President choice.

Oh I am voting! I'm just not thrilled about the first box I have to check...

Haha, I feel ya. The lesser of two evils?

I'd almost vote Trump, just because he'd be more likely to be impeached.

I hadn't thought of that. Good idea! Or maybe some SJW will take advantage of that 2nd amendment to resolve the issue...

[BlueChinchillaEatingDorito]

No Trudeau option?

I disagree with that image. It's like asking would you rather have syphilis or chlamydia. I'd rather have neither!

Is the 2nd amendment the gun one?
I kind of figured he'd already be dead tbh.

Unfortunately that's not an option.

Well, all Americans can rise up and demand new elections. But let's be real, in a policed society that's not going to happen.

Though I wish it would.

I wonder what would happen if there was a third option of "Hung Jury" (where you have no faith in either party...there's a word for it but I can't think of what it is, it be late). Would allow people to vote on the other important issues and have their displeasure known.

While most likely a small minority, there will be people voting for Stein and What's-his-name, which could be considered the serious turnip of this poll.

I'm not American, but if I could vote, I'm not sure I would go with one of these two, so I can't really answer (4). Although I'm not sure I'd vote any of the four for that matter

There are 3rd party candidates. No one takes them seriously. 

[SpaceGhostC2C]

So far, there are 10 votes: 2 voters, 3 non-voters, 5 non-Americans.

In question 2, Trump has 3 votes. Yes, Trump has 150% of the votes.

In questions 3 and 4 we have 10 votes still, meaning that the 2 voters and 3 non-voters are also underage and non-American.

I've never understood that, if you're too insecure to say who you vote for, maybe it's not the right candidate for you.
But each to their own

Why, because half the time its the best name on the ballot I vote for, or some other trivial thing. I do not follow elections. I find with the US election, the news cycle is boring. But I do not watch much TV anyway. And when I do, I prefer local news. I like to hear about whats going on in my area. Politics has always bored me. Its a rigged system for sure. Sometimes its a circus, Rob Ford rings a bell.

Because sometimes preferences for certain parties/candidates makes you a walking target.

That aint a voter though, just a MP.

I don't vote for what I don't believe in.

If you burn down a forest, it brings new life. That in play, either candidate will likely run America further into the ground. So odds end, doesn't really matter anymore.
