[quote=@Dinh AaronMk] The thing about this analogy is that they're actually IN the checkout lane with the rest. They are officially registered candidates for the race, in at least most of the states (write-in or otherwise). It's not opting for the 7-Up because the 7-Up isn't there. Getting 7-Up in this analogy is having these five as Coke, Dr. Pepper, Pepsi, Root Beer, and Monster and going, "I'm getting an orange soda" when it's not even in the store. Writing in a non-candidate is going to get the orange soda. [/quote] My analogy means that we're 5 days away, which literally means we're in the checkout line. Gary Johnson or whoever might as well be in the next state much less back in aisle 9. Look, I do know what you mean, and I know people have free will and can somehow suddenly grow some balls and not be influenced by a party system. But 5 days away there is no way to implement that. Not only that, but the American voters have never been more divisive and polarized since the civil war. I'm not saying it's not possible ever. I'm just saying that if you know of a way to convince 100 million Americans to vote 3rd party before Tuesday, I would enjoy hearing it. I think it can be done, but it needs to be done intelligently. And doing it intelligently, is getting a large following to break the 2 party system 16 months ago. [quote=@The Spectre] [@Dinh AaronMk], I believe that everyone has the right to vote for the candidate of their choice. I hate when people say "Well any vote not for X is for Y." Everyone using that is just fear mongering undecided voters to one side or the other. I am not voting for Trump because he isn't the common political guy running. I originally was voting for Marco Rubio and then John Kasich before picking between those two "candidates." And I have look into two of the third party candidates, Jill and Gary. Jill would of been a great vice president and replacement if Bernie Sanders decided to run for the Green Party and win (I will forever feel sorry for the Sanders supporters that got ripped off by Clinton and her supporters). I love her only because her stance with protecting the Earth. I do not like her vice president, Ajamu Baraka. He seems crazy to me as he called President Barack Obama an “uncle tom” and he favors [url=http://www.ajamubaraka.com/blog/2016/8/25/who-should-be-in-prison]abolishing prisons for good[/url]. The prison system needs change, but It shouldn't be abolished. I just need more time into looking at Jill. As for Gary Johnson and Bill Weld, I will need to look more into them before saying anything about them. I don't know who Evan McMullin is, but I will take a look at him and his vice president. [@POOHEAD189], it is sad when someone picks a side because they are scared rather than looking beyond the two options. But, it's your vote after all. [/quote] Honestly I agree. I take environmental policies more seriously than any that are out there. That's one of the main reasons I am going to go with the "against Trump" choice, because he'll fuck it up even worse.
