I'm not voting.

Posted: Oct 8, 2016

Trump is disgusting, and we all know why. He's also had many failures, despite opportunities 99% of us didn't have. In these failures, he's screwed over the little guy time and time again. He doesn't care. He's a jerk. His opinion of women is clear. He's a fool. He also knows nothing about government.

Hillary is untrustworthy, and we all know why. I don't think she would be honest with us about ANYTHING, and her husband is a sleeze like Trump. Yes, I know Bill Clinton isn't running for president. But she obviously supports him and supports his actions. There are too many unanswered questions circling around for me to feel comfortable saying that I voted for her.

I live in an eternally blue state, so my vote doesn't mean jack anyway, because of the way our voting system is set up.

I'm a democrat, in case anyone is wondering or cares.

This is the first time I haven't voted in an election, and it's depressing. I'm also depressed by what people will defend.

Whoever wins, wins. I just hope 2020 is better.

Im going for Johnson - Betrer than the other 2 fools

Im ashamed to say Im a republican anymore, and never would I vote for Hilary, so instead of not voting, I am giving it to Johnson!

Wish I had seen this post earlier. Did some research on Gary Johnson - Truthhurts

[ In Reply To ..]
because I thought about voting for him. From a neutral site that has quotes from him (that I didn't post becuase I want to keep this shorter), this is what he stands for:

OPPOSES higher taxes on the wealthy. and FAVORS zero corporate tax to generate millions of jobs

STRONGLY FAVORS support and expansion of free trade, TPP, no tariffs, no restrictions

FAVORS LEGAL requirements for hiring women and minorities, yet OPPOSES Affirmative Action..

STRONGLY FAVORS a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens

STRONGLY FAVORS Keeping our military at home to maintain a strong national defense, no foreign entanglements and no interaction unless we are attacked. No military or foreign aid unless it protects U.S. interests, but condemn the use of force against the innocent and the right of people to resist tyranny. ‘Be at peace with the world.” Stay out of genocide in the Sudan and

STRONGLY OPPOSES expansion of the military.

STRONGLY FAVORS privatizing a portion of Social Security and FAVORS raising the retirement age to 75, yet cutting Medicare and Medicaid by 43%
FAVORS Legalization of all drugs and prostitution but STRONGLY SUPPORTS 3 strikes you’re out and private prisons

STRONGLY OPPOSES hate crime legislation because it prosecutes “thought” crime, not actions, plus DNA evidence because he feels people are mistakenly convicted but FAVORS Black Lives Matter.

OPPOSES Cap & Trade and government management of the environment, no carbon tax, believes in climate change.

FAVORS staying in the U.N. but not taking part in intervention but FAVORS taking in Syrian Refugees

I'm voting for Jill Stein. She won't win, but - we gotta start somewhere. :/

What is that you say? - You are voting for Trump?

[ In Reply To ..]
Sorry, but yeah you are.

Jill Stein should know better. And she is pandering to the antivaxxer crowd.

Ask all those Ralph Nader voters if that was "starting somewhere" - nup, it just let W in for 8 long years.

I think if a candidate was something special (Nader got a lot of votes, so I guess his supporters thought he was, but...), then probably everyone would be voting third party this time, but these two are hardly anything special IMHO.

FYI, Jill Stein is not an Anti-VAXer. - VTMT

I did not say she was antivax - I said she panders to them

[ In Reply To ..]
For that matter, the only candidate who does not pander to the antivax crowd is Clinton.

The lady is a highly qualified doctor, she should know better.

From "Salon":

“Dr. Stein uses a common anti-vaccine dodge in which she denies that she’s anti-vaccine, but then repeats anti-vaccine tropes about vaccines not being tested the same way as other drugs (if anything, they’re tested more rigorously), corruption in big pharma, etc.,” David Gorski, a surgical oncologist and pro-science blogger explained to me. “She even walked back a Tweet from saying ‘there’s no evidence’ that vaccines cause autism to ‘I’m not aware of evidence linking vaccines to autism.’ Talk about an antivaccine dog whistle!”

Nadar has been running for President since 1972. - Truthhurts

[ In Reply To ..]
He didn't just run against W. He ran against Billy which let him "in for 8 long years."

BTW, he also ran against Obama, too. So that let Obama "in for 8 long years."

Sorry you missed that info.

I second your vote - LMT

I got/get so sick of hearing about Trump and Hillary..i decided to check out the independent candidates and Jill Stein is getting my vote this year. I think the WHOLE country should pick an indpendent candidate and blow the government groomed plan for who they want in office out of the water. Wouldn't that be great on November 9 to wake up to the shocked looked faces on Trump and Hillary's faces...lol Both of them lose and lose big would be fantastic. Stein 2016!!! Johnson is good too, but Stein had more things I agree with...2 very big things.

Really? Voting for someone with an arrest record? - Truthhurts

[ In Reply To ..]
Even though the charges are misdemeanors, she's still is listed as a criminal. She was arrested just the other week for vandalism WHILE SHE'S RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!

I don't consider that too smart, do you?

Jill Stein wants to replace Obamacare, too - Truthhurts

[ In Reply To ..]
She is an anti-vaxxer. She says people don't trust the FDA or the CDC. Really?

"Monsanto lobbyists help run the day in those agencies and are in charge of approving what food isn’t safe".

Emily Willingham, scientist and contributor at Forbes, described Stein's statements on vaccines as "using dog whistle terms and equivocations bound to appeal to the 'antivaccine' constituency".

I think she's a bit paranoid and indecisive.

No vote - dll

What needs to be put on the national ballot is a box stating "I refuse to vote for any of these unacceptable candidates for the Office of President of the United States" ... period.

Please cast a ballot and vote on the other issues in your state. In my state we're electing a governor, have a chance to vote regarding minimum wage and other important issues, in addition to local candidates. I haven't liked Trump since reading his book "The Art of the Deal" back in the 80's and the thought of having him as president makes me want to vomit. Hillary would not have been my first choice among Democrats, but just as I was getting used to that idea I remembered that her Election would include Bill. I might do a write-in vote or choose a third party candidate, but I could never vote for Donald Trump.

Obamacare is a tax. And that is just the beginning - SM

Do you understand what is happening here? US debt is going to leave you without a country and your DNA will be assigned a tax bill which your descendents will be left to pay forever. The global attempt to destroy America has been successful due to the need for land, resources and jobs for nations whose population number in the billion. When natives in these regions are not happy, they can tear down a city in 24 hours. India, China, Saudi Arabia have purchased trillions of dollars in land and US corporations including grocery stores. A tax hike leaving you with nothing is in your future. And the balance due is going to be paid back with the sweat of your offspring via SLAVE LABOR. Tax evasion will be the charge for your arrest.

Being thrown into jail is no longer 5 years of laying around on cots behind bars and working out on weights in the yard. It is now 12 hours of work in loading docks, warehouses, hubs.

See inside, please - This song is for you

Ohio voting just got a little harder, not because early voting has been cut down, and not because of new ID restrictions. That's right. Republicans are doing everything in their power to ensure a win in Ohio. The latest tactic works on a county by county basis. County by county it is decided whether or not to extend hours at the voting sites. Each county has a commission comprised of two dems and two pubs. You would think this would be a good thing to extend hours in this state right? ...

It is painfully obvious that President Obama used the tools he had available in order to do something. Unfortunately, the only thing republicans (the ones in control of congress) know is dictatorship - they know nothing about real life and how one has to compromise. I do it all day, every day in my life or I would not have a job let alone a husband or relationships. When you lose at a game or an election, you then have to play fair. They have acted like spoiled little losers and it makes me asha ...

I heard on Mark Simone's NY radio show today that the 4 groups of people who put Obama through to the presidency were (1) African Americans, (2) Hispanic Americans, (3) young people and (4) single women. Those 4 groups of people are also the ones most negatively impacted by this current economy. Isn't that just wonderful? The ones who helped put him in office are the ones reaping the least reward for doing so. What a guy! The most recent unemployment numbers are higher than the natio ...

Now you all can flame me, but having lived through the 50s and 60s when Communism was a threat to our country, I cannot fathom anyone voting for Bernie Sanders. Socialism is too similar to Communism and eventually turns to Communism.

Just Google Communism, Socialism, Marxism and Capitalism and decide if you want to vote for Bernie Sanders or any Democrat. The only Democrat I ever liked was Kennedy. I wish that they had not assassinated him. I wonder what our country would be like now. So, get your mind off of me getting hung up on the hearings. All I know is that we have fought Communism in other countries like Vietnam, etc. We don't like Communism or socialism. I would check out on each one the way that they ...

There is one overriding consideration in our family, and that is the urgent need to break the strangle-hold that the "elite", the "insiders", the "establishment" have had on government for too long. In other words: The "old-boy" (or "old-girl") network. Money, and its illicit influence. Back-room deals and corrupt arrangements. Had Sanders not sold out and broken off an independent candidacy, our family frankly would have been split, but unfortunately Sanders proved to be just another P ...
