Who Are You Voting For This Election

[Michael]

While this is completely unscientific, we always have some kind of a poll during elections so I figured we could start now. No one will know how you voted here. It is anonymous.

We can do them over the course of the next few months to see how or if they change.

I really think I need to write in my dog. Anyone want to vote for Tyson Lee Dawg? Not sure if I should vote in this poll or not. The person I voted for seemed like the lessor of evils for me, but I will probably have to make another choice come the actual election.

You should've added "Other" as a poll option as I will be writing "Ficus tree" into the blank line provided after the list of official candidates names.

I am sure my choice will perform better, follow through on expectations and bring me years of enjoyment and happiness. especially in comparison to the others.
Current and future,

ugh. I like none of those options haha

[Cat Herder]

I resent that those are my choices...

Added OTHER. Whomever wants me to change their vote to "other", let me know by PM. I would need to subtract it from your original vote though.

I see the "disruptors" are taking the lead here. I find it odd that no women here are voting for Hillary. In California I hear about the need for a woman in the WH. She seems qualified by her resume, I would be interested in why she is not anyone's vote. I guess you could always log out if you wanted to comment anonymously.

God help us all over the next 4 years. The one I like will likely not get the nomination. It's probably gonna come down to Trump and Clinton and that blank space. I'm sure I will be writing in my own choice.

She is a psycho.
That is all.

No need to log out! I'll tell ya how I really feel!

I won't vote for someone because of their sex any more than I will vote for someone based on their color. Part of me truly believes that many people voted for Obama only because of his race, and that many people will vote for Clinton just to have a woman in the White House. Those are poor reasons to vote for anyone IMHO. I believe that as citizens of the US, it is our job to educate ourselves and vote for the person we think will best do the job. Sadly, some elections I don't feel like we have that person in the choices. This is one of them.

I can understand where people are coming from with the need for a woman in the white house. For me, I don't think she'd do what needs to be done. I think she'd do more harm than good. I feel the same way about Trump. I suspect it will come down to Clinton and Trump. If that does happen I would vote Clinton simply because, for me, it's the lesser of two evils.

As far as women voting for a woman--I don't vote based on gender. Like another poster said, it's not about getting the first woman to be the president any more than it was about getting the first person of color to be the president. I think that's a stupid way to vote, personally. And i agree with a PP who feels that many people voted Obama simply because of his color-because it was a first.

I vote with my head, not my vagina.

Blackcat, come to the libertarian side!!

It's Bernie or bust for me. I've campaigned hard for him, phone banking and canvassing first in Des Moines, then here in Kansas, and finally in Missouri. I can't vote for Hillary because:

--She's a pathological liar ("I'm a moderate...no wait, I'm a progressive since that's more popular now")
--She's in bed with Wall St. execs and will vote for their interests, not mine
--She has always been against any rights for the LGBT community, and has suddenly changed her tune
--She will literally pander to anyone and change her position depending on to whom she is speaking (Goldman Sachs speeches anyone??)
--She has been getting money from special interest groups that work against the interest of the entire country except the ultra rich

I could seriously go on for days. But Bernie is 100% committed to changing the lives of the little people: our neighbors, our friends, our families. Everything he stands for has unleashed a howling cry from the masses who are desperate to be heard! Some of his bigger policies, like a Medicare-for-all system, are being brutally attacked by the big insurance companies and big Pharma because OF COURSE they benefit the American people and that's NOT WHAT THEY WANT. Some of his smaller, lesser known policies are total genius: turning the U.S. postal system into a low cost check cashing/loan bank to a)Save the post office and lower our postage costs and b)Put those nasty pay-day lenders out of business for charging 25% interest.

I'm totally interested in having a spirited debate about Bernie if anyone is interested in cold, hard facts straight from his campaign headquarters. And if I don't know something, I'll ask. I'm one of those desperate people living in the heart of a very conservative state watching our local government burn our school systems to ashes and literally kill people who can't afford insurance.

I'm assuming the question means 'Who are you voting for in the primaries?" I already voted in Florida for Sanders. I actually changed my party affiliation from NPA (no party affiliation) to Democrat in order to vote for him because in Florida, NPA's can't vote in primaries.

It doesn't look like he will get the nomination so then I'll vote for Clinton but he is my first choice.

I will not say my party affiliation but let's just say I called for both Sanders and Trump last June for what the public will clamor for. The "need". I would most likely upset most parties with the way I think. I don't carry the water for any of them.

I've been both broke and wealthy and know from past experience what works for me. I can be right or wrong depending on the timing of things but both Sanders and Trump have the X factor that most people are looking for.

People are engaged and enraged by what they are learning about our republic. Big changes are in order. This is the most exciting political election in a lifetime.

I would be willing to have a spirited conversation with you in PM if interested.
