Then you are part of the problem. Get out and vote. There is a write in field for a reason.

Third party votes can make a difference this year. Slim chance of actually winning, but if a party gets 5% they can actually get funding for 2020 and let a third voice be heard.

People always tell me that voting 3rd party is a wasted vote, and while I strongly disagree, I think sitting out is far worse than wasting a vote. Let your voice be heard through a 3rd party or write in, don't let the lack of great choices from the two party system silence you.

If you're a Republican and you don't vote and Hillary is elected then she's your fault and you deserve all the nonsense that will follow.

I an voting because it's my right voting for Sanders aND if he is not an option Stein. Really could care less who gets in or not. Also important to vote to ensure the Dems control Congress.

Exactly that is the way it is.
Might as well lump all those on the GOP side not voting with the Democrats as not choosing is choosing.


You bet I am voting.

No, its actually YOUR fault if you voted for Trump and Hillary wins. Every other GOP candidate of the last 3 standing does better against her in the polls than that clown Trump. Kasich dominates her. Its squarely on the shoulders of the ignorant, low information Trump voters.
