mrandyk Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I voted today. Living in South Dakota it is clear, and appalling, which candidate will earn our electoral votes. If I were in any state with a reasonable chance of swinging either red or blue I absolutely would have voted Clinton to help ensure Trump's defeat, but given the zero chance of that happening I cast my vote for Gary Johnson as a protest against the two-party system. I really wish more would do the same to get us away from these institutions that have failed the public so greatly, but going down my ballot there was exactly one candidate running for any level of local/state office that didn't have an R or D next to their name. One! I just don't understand why the masses flock to these two parties. Link to comment

Clinton is the best candidate given the alternatives of Trump, Johnson, and Stein, but I'm unwilling to vote for her when my vote makes no difference. Link to comment
ZRod Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Living in Michigan I'd rather not vote Clinton, but things are a little tighter than I like here. The blind allegiance to Trump by some very intelligent people in this state scares the sh#t outta me... it's so sad... Link to comment

I'm in a state where we'll go blue no matter what, but it's particularly worrisome in some of the states right now. Appreciate you doing the right thing! Link to comment
knapplc Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 That Clinton lead is shrinking and shrinking and shrinking. Link to comment
TGHusker Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 That Clinton lead is shrinking and shrinking and shrinking. Trump will still have to run the table on those key battle ground states and/or take one or more of some of those light blue states. While the lead is shrinking, Hillary will probably prevail. I don't think Trump has enough time to win those states. However if the vote was 1 - 2 weeks later, it may flip. Link to comment

That would require Trump to stay focused and on-topic for the entire time, something he has proven incapable of doing time and again. Link to comment

The media were falling all over themselves yesterday with the polls "tightening" and his ability to give himself instructions on stage to tow the line. It still blows me away that we grade the guy on such a curve that not tripping over himself for a week is considered a victory. I mean, that's the bare minimum for any human being. Why is he any different? 3 Link to comment
