Is that because you think its not true or because even though its true you just don't care?

Trump? = All torque no traction.
So people would vote for another RINO like Romney such as Bush/Rubio/Kasich/etc etc. But not vote for a complete change of what they DIDN'T like in 2016....well at least now we can tell the difference between the 2 parties before they were both intent on screwing Americans over now its just the democrats with their love of TPP and flooding the country with MORE illegals to drive wages lower and harm blacks job prospects.

Another amazing but not shocking is that it seems by this topic MOST people here are backing 3rd parties which is great....I think its wonderful.

Johnson is on the ballot and has been for the last several cycles, or at least some libertarian or green party candidate has been. However, it's always the Republican or Democrat that wins. No other party has even come remotely close in modern history.

Your contention that I am either voting for Clinton or Trump no matter who I vote for or even if I stay home is without basis to anyone who understands how the system works.
Actually, to anyone who truly understands how the system works, they would know 3rd parties have essentially no chance of winning in this country.


Look, you can tell yourself whatever you need to if it makes you feel better, or if it gives you some sort of misguided hope. But on Nov. 9th, only one of two people will be the new President elect. I know it, and deep down, you know it to. So whatever you decide to do on election day will directly or indirectly help one of those two get elected. There's no other way to look at it.

Yeah, for sure... say it like this, OP: " men operate in the real world, like (choose one: I or ME)". I wonder where women operate?

Donald Trump Says He Would Take $1 Presidential Salary | The Daily Caller

So there's part 1 of your requirements.
But, if it is like his other flip flops, like:
women should be put in jail
no, women should punished somehow
no, women are victims...

It works like this:
I won't take any pay
No, I will only take $1.00 in pay
No, I will take 100% of presidential pay.

Yeah, that sounds like him.

It would be nice if voting one's conscience also keeps the one that really shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the WH from getting elected. For example, in CA, voting for Johnson or Stein would not affect the outcome in that state, since trump has no chance of winning that state. So, all the more reason to vote third party, if that is what you really want to do. It will help the third parties gain ground for the future. It is a win-win situation for the third party voters.
