    I like this one. Let's see.

    Hmm, I'm thinking I just had a bad image. And because someone else had a bad image in the previous thread I was looking at, I jumped to the wrong conclusion.

    Sorry.

    Yep. I'm kinda new to this internet thingy.

    I try to push stuff through the series of tubes, but it always ends up in a dump truck.

    Johnson names former Mass. governor Bill Weld to be his running mate if he's the nominee.

    CNN is giving some love to the LP.

    That, and that alone, might make me vote for that guy.

    Denny, just curious: do you voluntarily live in California, or are you there for work?

    I could never imagine moving back to my birth place. Even my life-long Liberal Hippie Bay Area-born pot-smoking father recently told me there's no way he'd move back there.

    Good for you for voting! I voted Libertarian a while back when I voted for Bob Barr. He was an NRA executive officer/board of directors, and I didn't like the choice of the main candidates at the time (I believe it was Bush/Kerry 2004, IIRC).

    Then I came to the realization that such a vote was a waste (my personal opinion regarding MY vote), and elected to vote for the lesser of the two evils.

    But if it works for you, then good for you!

    I voluntarily live in CA, but I wasn't born here. I wish I was. I'm glad nobody's building a wall or wanting to send me back to Chicago.

    Bob Barr is the only Libertarian I did not vote for. He was a republican and still acted and sounded like one as the party candidate. I wrote in Ron Paul.

    My vote is never a waste. It goes to someone worthy of my vote.

    If you think the system is stacked against Sanders, it's really stacked against 3rd parties. They'll make some excuse to keep Johnson off the debate stage when Hiliar and Trump go head to head.

    If you think public funding of campaigns is a good idea, it will destroy any possibility of a 3rd party since they'll have NO money at all.

    The Libertarians do not go around promising free shit to anyone. Corporations included.

    For years I cast a protest vote for the candidates of the Socialist Workers Party. Often had to write them in. I knew of course they would not win elections but I voted for them citing what Eugene Debs said early 20th century, "it is better to vote for what you want and not get it than to vote for what you don't want and get it". But I have developed differences, not just of emphasis, but of principle, with the Socialist Workers Party, among other things openly anti-trans comments. I figure if I cast a protest vote it should be with enthusiasm. Since I know the candidate won't win, vote for what I really want. If that is not the case, no point in a protest vote.

    Now, I am voting for the person I find best qualified. There are things I don't like about Hillary Clinton, most specially her ties to corporate America. There are areas where I disagree with her; Iraq war obviously and death penalty. But she still seems the most competent, smart, knowledgeable, experienced, and calm person in the running. What really decided me was the attacks in Belgium. Trump was trying to find someone, anyone, to torture, Cruz suggested a "Warsaw ghetto" for Americans who are Muslim, Sanders seemed lost. I did not agree with every detail of Clinton's proposals but she really looked like the adult in the room. And Sanders' Daily News interview was very disappointing, they were not trick questions, he looked unprepared. So Clinton gets my vote, not for queen, for president.

    The idea of a Clinton cult is laughable. Her biggest disadvantage is that she is not charismatic (she really isn't); that does not hurt her in office but does in campaigning. If anyone could be said to be a cult it is Trump; his supporters, when pointed out that he says things that are factually false, say it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if he switches positions, what matters he is seen as "strong man" who will fix everything by the force of his personality. And blacks and women will again know their place.
