United states elections(part one); what are you gonna do?

[billycop32]

Welp, here we are again. This election really feels like picking the least poisonous drink.
Feel free to discuss the conventions below, BUT remember the forums rules and be good little demented colony overlords.   

EDIT ONE: there is now a part 2 poll going! for those outside of the U.S., there is a new poll exclusively for you. https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=24921.0;viewresults

Option D - none of the above
Why?  See this:

I refuse to vote for Trump.  I refuse to vote for Hillary.  I refuse to abstain from voting.

Ok, Is there another poll option you would like me to add?(may take a while as i'll be reading that link you put up)

[Juan el Demgrafo]

From what I understand, the two biggest third parties are Green and Libertarian so Jill Stein and Gary Johnson.

[milon]

I'd be happy with "Other".  But I'm undecided on exactly who at this point.  I may exercise the write-in option.

UPDATED POLL
please check if you would rather take a different option if you have already voted.

Sit back in my own country and laugh, and laugh, and laugh.

@ Milon : that was a great article every person from a democratic country should consider

I am not from the U.S. but I feel with you guys and I have no Idea what I would do if I where in your shoes.

The only reason I am interested in this discussion is, that whoever wins will still effect my country

I can only hope that the ex-colonists don't screw up as hard as the former empire did.

Buy some popcorn and watch the shitshow unfold.

The annoying thing about it, its still 3 month to go till it ends ...

it may be because I am tired .. but this is now the third time I accidently misread elections with an R instead of an L ..

[Justin C]

Gary Johnson for me, though between Trump and Hillary I'd take Hillary any day. She will cause less lasting damage.

[milon]

Depends on your perspective. There's lots of people who think Trump would cause less damage than Hillary.  I think they're both terrible presidential candidates, as I said above.

[SpaceDorf]

Did she waste all the good karma left over from her husband ?
I still see him as the guy before G.W. hit the fan.

[billycop32]

I'm with Milon on this one. they are both terrible candidates, but at least trump isn't a known criminal and traitor. if it were not for her political status, Hillary would be in jail, and maybe even on death row.

[SpaceDorf]

seems I missed out on a lot of stuff ..
