Yes-the bump from Bernie is real!

Facebook had to stop allowing users to invite their friends to "like" her page since she had such a huge increase.

Weird election for me. Since I cold vote back in 04 voted Republican. I voted Romney because I didn't like the Dems policies, still don't. However, after working in the mental health field couldn't really identify with a Party. Come primary season not a fan of democratic socialism, but saw it as the only answer. Working in the MH field you'll see how much this country needs help. People can't receive treatment due to shortage of funds, increased number of homeless, many people lives ruined being locked up in jail, people in trouble for smoking marijuana, people can't afford insurance, or can not receive treatment due to insurance, and so forth.

Anyways voted for Bernie, but after California knew he was out. So can't get behind the Dems to corrupt and focused on wasteful spending. The Republicans are corrupt and anti civil liberties.

So decided to read about Libertarianism and now support Gary Johnson. Not a full fledged Libertarian probably fall under the Democratic Freedom Cacaus beliefs or a soctal conservative like Representative Dent. I am voting for Gary because him and Weld have the most experience. They seem grounded with ideas and support some of their stances on issues.

Jill seems great, but lacks the political experience. Not sure want the goverment controlling my entire life.

If the establishment loses control of the propaganda machine, there's a chance at regaining our democracy.
If hillary is elected, the boomers won't need to worry about retirement, they will be living in a third world country by the time they're ready to retire..
People don't seem to understand how important this election is, America if finished if hillary is elected.
I truly believe Trump will make an exceptional president, he will make America great again, and he can do it..!!

Any chance this thread could stay focused on the topic - which is voting for Jill Stein or Gary Johnson - and not devolve into a Hillary/Trump is awesome/ Hillary/Trump is awful back and forth like the other 500+ threads in here? It'd be nice to have a place to discuss the upcoming election with other like-minded individuals.

Well, for that to happen she would have to plunge us into poverty and despair in only 4 short years, then there's that little problem of congress getting in her way as she destroys the structure of government and obliterates our economy. Even Turkey was able to thwart a coup, I think we can handle ourselves. Vote for your guy for their thoughtful and strategic approach to bring peace and prosperity and not reacting to hysterical imaginary scenarios.
