[quote=@The Spectre] The truth is that I don't really like both candidates, but I will be voting for Trump rather than Clinton. Clinton wants to put a no-fly zone over Syria which will raise tensions between both Russia and America. If a no-fly zone happens and Russia disobeys it, then we could have ourselves a third world war or another Cuban Missile Crisis. I hope to God that Clinton thinks hard before doing something stupid that could cause us the entire planet. Plus, she hasn't changed her views on gay marriage as she's still privately against it thanks to Wikileaks for leaking that [url=https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/2631]email[/url]. Trump needs to shut up and mature up before he pisses one of America's allies off. I understand that he doesn't have a political background. That's why he must get cabin members and others that know about politics to aid Mr. Trump before he fucks something up and dooms us. Maybe once he enters the Oval Office (if he wins), he might realize that being President is a serious job and he needs to stop his twitter wars. I don't know. If we have to pick between those two, I can't wait until the Election of 2020 has in store for us. [/quote] You don't have to vote for either. Let me point you in the direction of your alternatives: [url=https://www.evanmcmullin.com/]Evan McMullin[/url] [url=http://www.jill2016.com/plan]Jill Stein[/url] [url=https://www.johnsonweld.com/]Gary Johnson[/url] If your intentions to vote for Trump is to break from the political mainstream, then you'd be serving your conscious better voting for the three other alternatives in the race. True, you may argue that "they're third party, so it doesn't matter". But if you dislike either or as much as you say you do: then any of these three have to be ideologically better and more personable than Trump or Clinton. You might also say, "Well any vote not for X is for Y". But that's a tag-line the Republicans and Democrats drag through the dirt to scare people into voting into the two-party system. The reality of the situation is more that if enough people of either camp vote for any of the others then it'll sap their voter base away and cast the election into too much uncertainty for them to be comfortable; since we haven't had any major third - or fourth - parties in this country since its birth or even in forever. The next strategic alternative would be to vote your real party on down-ballot elections to counter-act a vote for Trump so as to populate Congress with representatives and senators that will make the reality of his - or reverse for Clinton - difficult to do. What they say on the trail is not an absolute reality, and truth is they have to go through Congress first to make any significant gains in any field. If you think Trump will break the back of "career politics" but still don't like his actual policies; but will support him for the former then the best you can do if possible is to do your part to do both: vote for the norm-break, but put a strong check and balancing individual into Congress to water down or block the extreme measures.
