Who Are You Voting For?

[Rebel]

You have 4 candidates right now vying for the position of President. You have Donald Trump (R), Hillary Clinton (D), Gary Johnson (I), and Jill Stein (I). Who are you planning to vote for and why?

Hilary Clinton all the way. Trump is just racist and I hate that.

I think Gary Johnson looks better than Trump or Hillary. That's just my opinion though. They don't seem responsible. To me this election is a joke. We are just going to be lucky if we survive this presidency.

Wish  Gary Johnson would have any real chance to win the election, but the populist duo Hillary Clinton-Trump already polarized the political scene so hard that any third option will undeniably end up overlooked by the major bulk of voters. It's such a shame, really, I don't know what the hell is wrong with people, they have some kind of love-hate relationship with their main oppressor: statism; giving out fake guarantees of security in form of welfare and regulations, which in fact are making this country decelerate its growth's rhythm. I'll always endorse libertarians, but every time they say 'the benefits of capitalism' everyone acts like they were suffering a seizure, so much misleading crappy liberal propaganda indoctrination messed up the masses brains.

I'm actually not from the US, but I'm quite surprised that Trump even got that far to begin with considering his racist and chauvinistic attitude. I think any candidate is able to be president with the exception of Trump. Hilary has good credentials though, so I think that she will win, and her popularity also helps a lot.

Oh my God, I had no idea about the existence of the other two guys, lol. But still, I think that the thing is between Hilary and Trump. And, just like some other users, I'm not from the US, but if I was I think that I would vote for Hilary, just because I would/am scared of Trump winning, not because she's that great... but I guess that she's better than Trump.

I have to agree about Johnson seeming the most level headed to me thus far - but I've had people worry that voting for him will be throwing away their vote, since it seems like a Democrat or a Republican will win...ugh...I am not keen on either Trump or Clinton, I think they're both terrible just in different ways...I honestly don't know if I will vote, because I cant bring myself to do a lesser of two evils thing...they both suck!

Hilary Clinton all the way. Trump is just racist and I hate that.

Instead of voting based off of who you like, why not look at what they are capable of doing for the country. Many politicians, well pretty much all of them say things that they are going to do, but literally can't because they don't have the power without Congress. Pretty much all of the issues I hear Trump and Clinton, and previous presidential nominees talk about have no relevance to their actual duties in office, they don't have the power the people so wish to believe they do. It's all about Congress.

It's always been a two horse race, and while people can vote for whom they wish, isn't it better to vote tactically? That's why Gore lost, because people voted for an Nader and the Greens, which could have changed the outcome of the vote, and Bush would not have been President.


Hopefully people will have learnt from this, but I doubt it as many people don't even understand how the elections really work. It's complicated to say the least and people tell you want they want you to know, and not what you need to really know.

I honestly want to vote for a third party, but I feel like it's a waste of a vote, because not enough people will vote for a third party for it to legitimately do well in the election. I don't like either Clinton or Trump to be honest, but I'm going with Clinton. In my opinion, the reason that I'm not voting for Trump isn't because of the new scandals about him that are being released, but because I suspect that he is a big liar. I've listened to his speeches, and I've really gotten into them even though I really don't agree with a lot of his ideas or views. I think that Trump has so many supporters because he is good at talking and riling up a crowd, but if you really listen to his speeches and if you're really familiar with English and rhetoric, you'll find that he actually uses fallacies to make his arguments. And overall, I know that people like Trump because he is a fresh face in politics, but I think that could go either way; it could go either well, or really bad, and I don't want to risk the very bad. I would rather have a more stable candidate until we get one during the next election that I actually prefer.
