I'd vote Trump, but as Quasi is a SJW-Feminazi I'm sure he'd vote for Hillary.

You may be right, but voting for Trump or Clinton = giving in to the flawed system.

Yep. That is the problem with the US voting system, it is stuck in a two-party tunnel, even if there is more than two parties.

Hey guys! Wanted to thank you guys again for the support of the thread! Should I work on another one? If so, what features should I add?

If everyone who did not want to vote for trump or Clinton would vote third party, then a third party candidate would win, even with the issues with the electoral college. The only thing that is stopping it is all the people who think it is impossible for a third party to win, so they don't even try to make it happen.

This is where you are wrong. There is something about third parties in America such that they are not united. We have literally dozens of third parties. While there are a handful with support in most of the country, most are regional and aren't even known in most of the country. In some cases, people might vote for their local third party because it is locally focused. Yet that party might not offer a national candidate.

At other times, people might be interested in voting third party, but they don't necessarily like the defacto choice of the "obvious" third party choice. Because the Libertarian party is a national party, that does not mean that it's the only other choice one must vote for. And the Libertarian party has many stands that do not sit well with all independent voters.

The Libertarian party thinks it's an independent party because it isn't Republican or Democrat, but by being a nationally united party, it has defeated itself as a truly independent party because -- oxymoronically -- a political party cannot be independent so long as it is a national party. Because of -- or in spite of -- the fact that we are a two-party system, our nation's organizational structure is such that being "independent" means that you aren't aligned with a federated party. In other words, because libertarians have tried so hard to be a national party, they've lost the truest sense of independence from the national party system....which is what they were founded to be.

Finally, there are other nationally-known third parties that also draw away votes from the Libertarian party...such as the Constitution party. But, like the Libertarian party, none of those other third parties are truly able to unite all independent voters thus the independent vote is deeply divided in different directions...and most independent voters wind up voting either Republican or Democrat anyway.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As an example, I most identify with the Constitution party because it's policies, as a whole, best reflect good morality and the intent of our founding fathers. I agree with them, save for one thing: their isolationist stand on international affairs. The Constitution party would have us remove our money, military, and influence from all over the world and let the whole world fall into anarchy...something for which I could never fully support and thus I could never side with them so long as this is an absolute policy of there's. Similarly, the Libertarian party has a set of conservative economic ideologies that I support but their liberal beliefs in amoral freedoms -- especially that of abortion -- are anathema to me and so I could never support them.

If I had the perfect candidate, he would be a leader of a truly theocratic party. But since we have no theocratic party, I must choose the best candidate of who's left. However, of the candidates I've reviewed thus far, I find no candidate worthy of my vote.

Clinton is an enemy of almost everything I stand for, so I would never vote for her, ever. Trump has some policies I agree with, but both his personal moralities and his cavalier attitude of human compassion and sensibilities are abhorrent to me so I could never vote for him, either. Johnson, of the Libertarian party, is fairly conservative, and supports a lot that I stand for, but he's pro-abortion -- which to me is being pro-murder.

As far as I'm concerned, Abortion is the most abominable and wicked act that a human can do in the sight of God -- and men -- short of deliberately and thoughtfully* cursing God Himself -- to blaspheme His Holy Spirit, as it were -- which is the highest act of abomination and the only sin that is considered unpardonable. Therefore, since Johnson is pro-abortion, I can not support him. Clinton is also pro-abortion and Trump, until he decided to run for president, unbelievably decided to be "pro-life". Therefore, none of the three top candidates have my vote.

I have yet to investigate the Constitution party presidential candidate, but since he's likely to share my views on most of this stuff -- even though that party is isolationist (which I do not support) -- I will likely be voting for him. Barring my ability to vote for that person, I will simply not be able to cast a vote in the current election for president. If that is the case -- and it may truly be so -- then this will be the first time in my adult life that I haven't voted for president since 1992 when Bill Clinton beat George H. W. Bush and Ross Perot.

* I say "thoughtfully" because many people have wantonly blasphemed God without really understanding what they were doing so and thus -- in their ignorance -- might not be guilty to the unforgivable effect that the Bible describes.

Friends! The people have spoken! Another Mock Presidental race is in the making! I'm trying to focus on my RP (which by the way is launching October 7th, applications still accepted after though. SHAMELESS ADVERTISING LINK: The New Millennium RP (Remastered!) ) first. However; I have started working on Mock Race Pt. 4!

I need a few voices from you guys though. Things you didn't like, things you liked, what you think I could add or improve, etc.

In the next few days, I'll launch a poll asking which country you want to run

Please be patient as I finish up the final touches on my roleplay, as well as balance this on the side!

Thanks so much guys

taking yesterdays polls, Johnson could win his home state of new mexico..

That gives him 5 votes..

Hillary would then have 268 and trump 265

then it goes to the house, and well.. trump and hillary.. not a lot of support from their parties,

trigger a sudden support for johnson...?

I doubt his running mate will make it through the senate as well, but there still a lot of anti hillary in the democratic corner and anti trump in the republican corner..

Sure a few state congressmen have all switched parties to the libertarains.

And a bunch of the biggest newspapers have endorsed Johnson..

Gary Johnson couldn't name a world leader when asked who he looks up to.

He also didn't know what Aleppo is.

He ruined his campaign for me.
