Finally, some refreshingly candid remarks from someone!!!
If you don’t live in a swing state, there’s no reason not to vote third party.

You, my friend, are on fire today. And you have the correct amount of bile shaping your thoughts. Good for you!
I find a harmonious agreement with all statements made by you.

They can certainly try, though, and possibly do a lot of damage, while any lawsuit challenging their action(s) (because of unconstitutionality etc.) winds its way up and through the courts. I can imagine the courts getting so backlogged with challenges that Trump (for example) just does whatever the hell he wants, because it won’t get sorted out right away if at all.

No great love for HRC but I’m not getting the whole “she’s worse than Trump” rhetoric bouncing around.
And in case someone else didn’t already post this:

These things are difficult to predict - heck, some people still believe the Swift Boat attack job - because Military. But I feel like one thing I can accurately call - when all is said and done, Donald is going to sue someone.

She is pwned like every other politician. She takes hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars in speaking fees from massive financial institutions that are too big to fail.
She’s a hawk.
Do you really think you’ll see any significant reforms to market regulation in the US? Do you think US foreign policy will shift with her in charge?
It is hard to imagine a more resounding vote to keep the fucking status quo.
It’s just that the status quo is actually, unbelievably, starting to look attractive now that Donny no-friends at the RNC is the Republican candidate in real life for actually really real and not in some dystopian novel.

All it takes is majorities in both houses and a President willing to sign it! Why didn’t Obama think of that?

Douglas Adams was a prophet, and Donald Trump is actually Zaphod Beeblebrox.

That corruption is a big deal, it’s been a recurring story throughout her career. And at every opportunity, she seems to do what’s best for her at the expense of others, including liberals who wouldn’t otherwise hate her.
Interesting that you brought up the incompetence of the GOP candidates. I was surprised that was the best they could do. A conspiracy theorist somewhere is surely having a field day with that idea - (what if it wasn’t just the DNC rigging the election for her, but a bipartisan move? She’s mostly right-wing on a lot of things anyway…) But that’s pushing into tinfoil hat territory. I think of it more like a card game, where sometimes you have to play bad cards just to get them out of your hand so you can (hopefully) draw better ones for the next round. In that case, the next election or two could see some interesting Republican candidates.
To many, she is a typical white male stuffed-shirt politician in drag. (thanks to @rocketpj for that descriptor)
If she had selected Bernie Sanders as her Vice President running-mate, his supporters would be momentarily sad, but they’d get over it rather quickly and together they’d be a powerful force.
Also, a lot of people hate the idea of ‘voting for the lesser of two evils’, because that’s still voting for evil. As @anon15383236 said, would you rather have syphilis or gonorrhea? Or as the old interrogation example goes, have you stopped beating your wife yet - yes or no? Either answer and you will suffer. Democracy is purportedly about giving people a chance to have a say in things, so when that is taken away by limiting their choices to all negatives, they don’t like it.

Yes, a story. A story. A story. Brer FOX has been at your bedside telling you this story for years.
Sometimes there is smoke without fire. Sometimes creators of fiction use great big smoke machines to generate the smoke.

In a way it’s brilliant. Donald Trump has said so many completely bonkers things that he can’t be held accountable to what he says. And somehow he’s proud of it and people like it!
People go on and on about all the bad things Clinton has done while at the same time giving Trump a free pass on way worse stuff.
I get it, Clinton is an unlovable career politician (and a woman at that, successful women are always more ruthless. They need to be.) She has done some corrupt shit, but if you compare to other politicians about par for the course. I get why you all don’t like her.
But come on. Trump is way worse in every aspect. Career businessmen are like career politicians without any oversight (as opposed to ‘hardly any oversight’) If you read up on what the guy has done in his life up till now it’s one big money grab. Scamming left and right. Ruthlessly shoving people out. The man has no heart. He just knows what’s best for Trump.
If the US elects Trump I guess there’s a real chance of the NATO breaking up, europe can’t work with that madman.

How many other Secretaries of State have controlled poorly-audited personal charities which solicit tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and businesses which seek State Department approval for their operations?
This might be “par for the course” compared to Boss Tweed, Warren G. Harding or Huey Long, but not compared to anyone in the last half century I am aware of.
Would you like a list of Clinton’s “money grabs”? It ain’t short.
Was Obama running a campaign based on demogogic racist hypernationalism and openly declaring his desire to make a religious minority into second class citizens?
The “Obama is a NaziCommieStalinHitler” stuff was ridiculous because it had absolutely zero grounding in reality, not because fascism doesn’t exist.
