I Hate Politics

No, Hilary and Trump are not equally awful. She has actually done positive things and shown governing acumen whereas he is a disaster on every front except self promotion. To suggest that they are equivalent is intellectually lazy at best and dishonest at worst. We do not possess a parliamentary system of government so any votes for a third party candidate will be utterly wasted, and given the fact that the right wing has maintained a good record of voting discipline regardless of personal enthusiasm for the candidate, you can be sure that they will vote as a bloc for Trump. What this means is that every moderate, liberal, progressive or similarly aligned voter who throws away their vote on a Jill Stein or other candidate other than Hilary Clinton will be tipping the scales in favor of a dangerous, hateful incompetent demogouge becoming the next, and invariably most damaging, American president.

keeping one idiot out to let another idiot in isnt doing anythign good.. neither short term nor long term. hillary and trump are both equally evil and incompetent and it doesnt matter at all who of those two imbeciles end up in power.

but giving a 3rd party support will actually send a strong signal, that the big parties will have to deal with in 4 years.

I know there's never been a woman president. I live in the US. However, you don't vote for a person just because of their gender. You vote for the most qualified person regardless of their gender.

if you vote hillary to prevent trump you are an idiot.. vote jill stein, she is a wonderful and skilled politican

well if you are that kind of person that supports hillaries leadership style and policies then thats perfectly fine... i question your judgement as i see her as evil personated but i can respect that. just as much as i can respect people who think trump will make a great president.

i just have no respect for people who cast a tactival vote to prevent one or the other...

If you think Hilary Clinton is the personification of evil then you have led a charmed life.

jaggedlittlepill... if you hoenbstly believe hillary is a good honest person and a good politican.. then vote for her...

i only called those idiot that vote her for the wrong reason. and voting for her to prevent someone else is as idiotic as it possibly can get

Not voting is an option too, Jagged. According to your rationale that one [i]should[/i] vote, if that's the case, then I'm "Trumping" because I think he's .000012653% more correct than his opposition. So thanks, Jagged.

I do not know how that feels because I live in Saudi Arabia and we guys don't get to choose or vote!!!! But I do hope one day we''l have a chance to make things better around here.

trump is a horrible person.. but he isnt any worse the hillary... they are equally bad. you cant win if you vote any of them to prevent the other

Politicians just know how to play the game of bullshit better than those that are not. No big deal to me. :)

thats perfectly valid then jagged

I never claimed i was voting for Hillary to prevent the other but people who claim she is the same or worse than him are seriously kidding themselves.

That is a strategic plan though and i see it as a better plan than wasting time writing in for someone who wont win or have any chance to win.

I am voting Hillary because she is more than qualified for the job and will uphold the agendas I feel need to be upheld. Period.

I am voting for Hillary because I believe she knows what she is doing.

@Auberon...thank you...I let my emotions get the best of me and never quite express my point as clearly. You have done so many times...

There will never be enough write in votes for them to be uprooted. It is ridiculous to think that could be possible at all....wasting that vote means allowing others to decide who goes into the whitehouse.

You essentially allow it to be whatever it is and that means a possibility that Trump gets in and regardless of what anyone says or thinks the man will cause war on our country.

He is not wanted in other countries. We will become isolated and that IS NOT what we want.

Oh boy.

One thing: there has never been a woman president in the US..in fact it was not allowed at one time. It is historical. If this is too hard for you to fathom then there is absolutely no use in discussing anything with you.

Try a country without a government and politics and then come back to this.

You came on this post and claimed that anyone voting for hillary was an idiot..so do you think that is not nasty?

I am sick of people assuming they know everything about everyone. I am only dishing out the same as you dish out. So how come it is ok for you and not for me?

Yes. I am an idot for keeping an evil force from the whitehouse.

Stahhhhhp the petty malarky people and behave like adults

Right you say that like I give two shites about you.

You are exacty what this country needs to get rid of. And will

You said anyone who votes for hillary. There are two choices Mike. So ....lol you guys are hilarious

No one said they were voting for her just because she is a woman. Get real.

Writing in a vote for someone who will never win is just as bad as not voting at all.

Anyone who votes for Trump is a racist biggot.

See how that works Mike?

Good on you...dont complain later when things are not going your way

Exactly..the MOST QUALIFIED. Trump is not qualified AT ALL

So he blocked me? Lol
