    C'mon, vote for a third party, or not at all. I love a good laugh. People laugh when someone falls down, and I will laugh at the left in America when they have to work twice as hard for half the gain. Over future decades, because Donald Trump was elected President! The radicals will mistakenly think his election will usher in the glorious revolution, just as foolish Communists in Germany said, "After Hitler, us!. I wanna see anarchists denied birth control at the hospital. I wanna see thier kids taught conservative Christianity in school. Etc.

    C'mon, make me laugh. Don't vote for Hillary. I wanna see you work twice as hard for half the gain, until at least 2040.

    (This is sarcasm. Actually, I'll be crying.)

    First Person - Oh I don’t want to vote for the lesser of two evils

    Second Person – Then you get the MORE evil of the two evils in power.

    Depends on the war i suppose- FDR wanted the US to get involved in WWII even before Pearl Harbor and then both JFK and LBJ were in favour of escalation in Vietnam.

    Eh thats true.

    I also didnt like Hillary's response on the N. Dakota pipeline. I know a third party doesnt stand a chance because people like the OP are too afraid to vote third party, but i am not placing a bet on the winner. I am voting for the person who represents my interests the best. I hope everyone does.

    Well as a Green Party voter in the UK I understand you position, but I have voted tactically in the past when it is needed. It’s a dilemma but the main thing for me is that people should vote even if its to vote for third parties.

    Ditto.

    However I doubt I'll vote tactically again - last time I did it didn't work out well as I voted Lib in 2010 thinking it would keep the Tories out. In future I vote for what I believe to be the best option - Green.

    I have no problem voting tactically but in this case, Hillary's hawkish foreign policy coupled with her party's strong anti Russian rhetoric honestly scares me just as much as a Trump presidency. I fear we are marching towards WWIII.

    I wish we could press reset.

    Its Three Stooges slapstick all the way because its empire baby and this train ain't stopping until she derails. Fear and greed ensure the brightest lights are always left on when nobody is home. For many of us the real question is how to pick up the pieces and break the cycle.

    That is thinking like a politician. And not a bright one at that.

    Unless you can predict the outcome .... which is not very likely.

    It would take something of that scale.
