I wonder, how many of you did already make up your minds on who to vote for? And, did you make up your minds just because you usually vote Democrat/Republican, or because you really hate CLintron/Trump, or really like Clinton/Trump?

How many of you took the quiz at isidewith.com to see if your choice is really validated? If you did take the quiz, was your original choice of who you are voting for confirmed, or do you have some doubts?

I’d give my nut for that Abarth. I can actually buy most parts to make mine look like this - A company out of Ireland sells them all, but the parts only - no shipping would cost $12-15000, depending on the Pound value. You can make a Maserati or Ferrari tributo for $5000 or so.

Hey, finding the worst possible candidates isn’t easy. It takes a lot of time and effort to find the two people least suited to the job of POTUS. We aren’t Canada, we can’t just to to a crack house and find a guy that looks ok in a suit.

I took the quiz a while ago when there were many more candidates. The results were as I thought they would be given the questions, but I won’t be voting for that candidate.

This will be the first election since I have been eligible to vote where I will not vote a straight ticket.

My first result for a certain candidate was 87% and the other person was 67% - I took the test again and they are switched. Not sure if I changed that much in a few weeks, or their algorithm :)

My only real concern when voting is “who is going to take the least out of my paycheck?”. However, when that concern is outweighed by two candidates that I wouldn’t share a cup of coffee with let alone vote into the white house, I’ve got to switch up my strategy.

For fun, I took that quiz. I side with Clinton almost in whole and it’s who I’ll be voting for.

Potential email issues aside(I’m still not sure how much of it was negligence, being uninformed or intentional), I think she is an excellent candidate.

I did that quiz a while back and I lined up extremely closely with one of the third party candidates. But just because I agree with them on policy says nothing about if they have actually run a decent campaign to gain the necessary support, has enough down ticket support to get ANYTHING done in government, or if they even have the necessary temperament to deal with the stresses of being president.

That being said, I also find it ridiculously self-centered hearing people like one of the commenters about how they’re just voting based on what affects their wallet the least – especially given that one of the two candidates who is going to win the election is hell bent on setting people against each other, and has said some of the most vile, racist, and bigoted shit imaginable – and actually intends to set government policy based on those words he stands by. Even if the other arms of government are able to reign him in to an extent, giving legitimacy to his core supporters and perpetuating their beliefs and the actions they’ve taken on their own against people they come across is disgusting.

To me, and many people of color, religious minorities, immigrants, etc. we don’t have the luxury of just voting for who benefits us financially the best – it’s far more basic and primal than that in an effort to preserve dignity and personal safety. People, voting is a duty for your country – not just for yourself. So please think about other people, people who may not walk the same shoes as you but you know there are millions of who work hard and lead a decent life – who are being put at jeopardy by that orange buffoon.

Not sure what your background is, but please ready my response to the original post. If you are equally dissatisfied by both mainstream candidates (which I do agree – voting third party is pointless), take the decision off yourself personally and think of what this election means to other people. Especially people of color, immigrants, and religious minorities are scared shitless with this election – the millions of law abiding, normal everyday people – not the bogeyman terrorists or criminals we’re all being equated to. Whatever you do, please don’t abstain – having legally lived in this country my entire adult life, and it being the only place I feel like I can call home I still can’t vote, and especially this year I’d give anything to be able to do so.

I am a refugee/immigrant as well. Being an illegal alien/unregistered worker/whatever the current terminology sort of makes you not law abiding by default ;)

Anyway, no reason to be scared of Trump - no way he can do what he wants to do.

Cayman is a very acceptable answer. Told my wife that is one Porsche I’d like down the road, I want it more than a 911, and not just because of the price.

Trump will need cooperation from the other arms of government so I’m less worried about him - although still slightly concerned given the conservative rhetoric amongst right-wingers in recent history. It’s more so his core supporters getting even more amped up and being led to believe that their bigotry is justified is what scares me more.

Also to consider – being immigrants and having made a better life here in the US, its disgusting to see Trump’s views on refugees and plans to block many of them while thousands of people out there are stuck in the cross fire. Even worse, his knowledge of these situations is so bad that he might even make things worse on the ground (debate comments of why not carpet bomb Mosul without notice, because anybody still there MUST be a terrorist, amirite?! – and when asked how he would address the humanitarian crisis in Aleppo said nothing in response except that he’d JOIN Assad and Russia to take out the rebels – i.e. flip sides instead). People around the world are watching this election as it affects so many people outside the US too.

Clinton at least understands intricate international relationships and has an even keel to deal with stressful situations without trying to press the nuke button. She’s not perfect, understood – but especially with a republican led congress won’t do nearly as much damage as a President Trump.

“Even if the other arms of government are able to reign him in to an extent, giving legitimacy to his core supporters and perpetuating their beliefs ... is disgusting.”

As someone who can’t stand Trump, I think this statement is a bit disgusting in the face of our democracy and what it stands for. POC? The worst off among them will really thrive under Hillary’s “your shit doesn’t stink” rhetoric that prevents any solutions to, say, the suffering of children in Chicago by refusing to ever identify any problems (but hey, it gets votes). And the rust belt the initiatives she supported created? Does it go with my Chinese pantsuit? Yeah, suffering knows race in many cases... but it’s permeating the entire working class of this country and a self-serving system that Hillary Clinton has basked in the beneficence of for an entire career has caused it.

People need to stop kidding themselves about all of the above candidates and—perhaps more importantly—stop letting the political establishment kid them.

Anyways, I’d definitely be voting for her if I were in the US. Even if I didn’t particularly like her - and, honestly, she seems about average as politicians go - her opponent is a source of actual physical revulsion for me, the rapist shitbag.

Let’s just say that I agree wholeheartedly with your last statement. Hillary is FAR from my ideal candidate – but as it stands either Hillary or Trump WILL win. A Trump victory is far, far more dangerous for millions of people both inside and outside this country. Meanwhile a Clinton presidency will be 4 more years of the same old bullshit. I’d rather pinch my nose and take the latter instead of throwing away everything in hopes of a despotic self-centered madman magically becoming our savior.

Same. Stein’s not going to even come remotely close to winning and quite frankly doesn’t deserve to. She literally wouldn’t know what to do with herself if the presidency fell on her lap – so voting for her would be throwing away your vote. A Trump presidency will be way too unpredictable and straight up dangerous for MANY people. Voting Clinton is the only way to prevent that, as boring or disheartening that may sound. The alternative is just way too awful and sends a dangerous message, so preventing that should go well beyond personal ideology.

Yeah, I am a centrist withe liberal leanings and even I couldn’t stomach that much being taken from me. I can’t put this in a way that doesn’t make me look like an asshole (because I am an assholes about it), but what have the people who would be getting a large chunk of my money do for me? Some of them use the services to better their lives, but a lot tend to coast on it like it’s a real paycheck. It’s all about whether it’s worth it or not to give your money away to the needy and the “needy”.

I must admit that I was fully behind Hillary in 2008. Well, after Edwards dropped out. Yikes. I don’t think Obama has been particularly bad although I have become less fond of him over time. I guess that’s the natural inclination to compare him to Bush fading combined with the ideologue speak (don’t question x, think y, and you’re bad if you criticize z).

I came into this election with the mindset that Bernie was going to be stopped at all costs and Biden was too emotionally taxed to run. Ultimately, I’d have sit back—pinching my nose—and give Hillary my vote and I’d come to peace with that. While painful, I must acknowledge that my desire to see the broken power structure fall (perhaps giving way to a new era of healthy populism, perhaps resulting in shit dramatically hitting the fan, likely both with more of the latter) has slowly undermined my ability to watch the turd slowly but surely move into the path of fan blades. The structure of the metaphorical building is failing, the people inside only exacerbate its collapse, and the unfazed masses outside stand like deer in the headlights. Part of me wants to see a childish narcissist push the lever, while another part of me needs a calculating narcissist to add floors on top and push the building further towards collapse. At this point, my primary concern may just be the rights of the people on the ground to just discuss what the fuck’s going on and I don’t think either candidate is too keen on that.

If the enemy of my enemy is my friend, I have two frenemies in the race. The question is whether I want to be fucked over openly but unpredictably or to be the victim of a long con that will surely leave nothing for the average American if carried out entirely. The success of which becomes more likely with 4-8 years under Clinton. For me, the issues are bigger than the shortcomings of each candidate as a person, as that wouldn’t be a hard decision. They are bigger than the presidential office or even the United States federal gov’t. It’s about free speech, trade, and selfish vested interests which converge in a convoluted equation I’m too tired to explain and too convoluted to make my decision. My life is crushingly boring and Trump gives me entertainment. On the other hand, not everyone wants to watch the world burn; while I don’t think the risks and shortcomings are as dire as most people make them out to be, that doesn’t say a whole lot and I have to consider others. Still, if actions speak louder than words he is less of a racist than now-respected Romney, less of a foreign policy wild card than GWB (because the guy could be told to invade Antarctica while funding an ISI effort to give Saudi Arabia nukes to defeat Saddam), and less of a danger to underprivileged groups than Reagan. To me, that’s not saying a whole lot for the guy with all traits rolled into one and his temperament would be a concern for over a year in at best. So back at square zero and I guess I will write in Ron Paul because that was a fun and kooky-in-a-good-way time (for the whole family)!

I don’t know how to screencap Windows 10, and I can’t save my results but here we go

95% Hillary Clinton

95% Jill Stein

45% Gary Johnson

20% Donald Trump, only on healthcare, thank God

I’m only 17, so I can’t vote (which I’m honestly a little happy about; whatever happens isn’t my fault).

Donald Trump is an immediate no for me. I find him reprehensible. The racist, sexist, & just straight up vile things he’s said, ridiculous border wall idea, and horrible temperament automatically disqualify him, regardless of policy.

Jill Stein and Gary Johnson will not win. They won’t. Neither of them has ever polled high enough to even make it to the debates. The idea of “sticking it to the man” is appealing, it’s how Trump has gotten this far. But we have to live in reality. And the reality of the situation is that a vote for either of them is practically useless. And the idea of a protest vote that could allow the Donald into office doesn’t sit well with me.

Hillary... Hillary Hillary Hillary... You’ve got a lot of people who hate you. But I can’t really feel strongly either way. Your little shoulder shimmy made me feel safe and happy inside if that counts for anything. you’ve got a lot of experience, 30 years of it. And also the 50 you spent fighting Isis. You really should talk about that more. And I don’t think you’d be a bad president. People won’t like you, but that doesn’t mean you’d actually hurt America.

I honestly think Hillary will win. And I guess I’m glad about that? At least she’ll keep the Donald out, and while I can’t say I’m happy that the election has become about keeping his tiny fingers away from the oval office, that’s the reality we have to live in. Donald is just too inflammatory. And while that makes him popular with Angry White Men, it’s hurt him with literally everyone else.

The childish narcissist will definitely make sure everything crumbles – but he will also ruin the lives of many innocent people while doing it. I’m not talking tax policy, I’m talking personal safety. Your life may be boring and you need entertainment (your words, not mine) but there are actual people being impacted by all this who are seriously scared shitless. They don’t have the luxury of entertainment here.

If in your eyes the choice is between a narcissist manchild who will burn the entire establishment, or a corrupt politician who will continue with the eventual decay – then PLEASE go with the latter, if that’s what it means to you. Far fewer people will be put in harm’s way and it gives you the chance to have a more hopeful candidate for 2020 without risking losing everything all at once.
