Just trying to guage the current sentiment for third-party candidates.

Feel free to comment if you are firmly committed to a third-party candidate or considering it.

I'll be voting for clean government, clean air, Jill Stein. Pretty much mirrors Sanders' views on most issues. I do lean more on spending restraints which would be more like Gary Johnson.

Voting Trump. If I'm going to vote it should at least go to someone who has a chance to win, otherwise wtf is the point in wasting my time?

To vote for a candidate that matches one's own value system?

None of the above.

I really can't wait to see total voter turn out after the election. And to see if I'm correct that this will be one of the lowest turnouts in modern history.

May well be. The African-American vote will be lower and I can see many people staying home out of disgust though I'll be voting third-party hoping to over the 5% for public funding next election. The Monopoly had to end.

Trump most matches my values, most closely.

I agree with some ideas Johnson has. But at the end of the day, he is not going to win.

In my personal opinion.

Unless something major changes between now and November, I'll be voting for Stein. I don't particularly like her and I understand she has no chance, but I'll cast my vote as a protest. I think the two party system is broken. Hillary is a war-hawking corporate shill and Trump is an evil megalomaniac - I can't vote for either of those, not even to protest the other one.

But you know for a fact Trump will win?
