2016 in America

I appreciate the desire to not vote for Hillary, but, seriously, any decision to vote for anyone else, or not vote at all, might as well be a vote for Trump. Please don't do that. Please.

Well Seraph, I don't know what else to do. The DNC clearly doesn't want my vote, not after they made Tim Kaine Clinton's VP candidate(He's pro-Citizen's United, Pro-TPP, and Anti-abortion), continually failing to address leaked emails that heavily imply the whole damn primary was rigged against Bernie(regardless of truth or falsehood), and the continued harassment of Bernie supporters, both at the joint rally in Vermont and over the Internet still. These people clearly think that they can win it without me, why should I bother then?

If I was working on that "Fear Vote" level, Jill wouldn't even be an option. I have tried, seriously tried, to see whatever Bernie does in the DNC, I really have. But every freakin' time, it's another set of harassment messages, another set of leaked emails showing the blatant bias of the DNC, another progressive policy off of the platform. Honestly, this can only go on for so long before it stops being a "Democratic" campaign and starts looking a hell of a lot like Donald Trump's. At least, that's where she *seems* to be going with this. I don't know, I'm not her. But she's making it just as hard as Trump for progressives to vote for her on anything other than "I'm not the Other guy" which should never, ever be how you vote for someone, because that's how we got Bush II in there, because "I could have a beer with that guy."

Until about 36 hours ago, I was on the "ABT" train (Anybody but Trump). I was dead set for Ted Cruz and I just wanted the RNC convention to quietly find some rule to get rid of Trump. But after it became clear that he was here to stay, I considered simply staying at home. Then 36 hours ago, he gave his acceptance speech, it was everything that I was looking for in a candidate, and I was surprised because it was what he had been saying all along. I let my fear of a unwarranted fear get in the way of me allowing myself throwing the nation away to the most corrupt person I've ever seen (Hillary Clinton if you can't already tell). When I came to that realization, I knew Trump was the only way especially after what you guys talked about with the DNC rigging it for Hillary, she can't even win by her self and with the private backing of the DNC, she still almost lost.

Trump will win, not because Hillary is bad, not because Trump is better, but because he knows the majority of the electorate are center left, and he'll move to that point to win.

I do support Bernie and the DNC has been absolutely fucking terrible, but, like always, we all have our own thoughts on it.

Even if Hillary is absolute shit, and the thing was rigged from the start, For the love of God and everything that's holy, DO NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP. Also, not voting is practically voting for Trump, considering the support he already has.

When I said that I was going to vote for Trump, that was when I was livid, but now that the water has settled, I'm gonna vote Green in November. However, we've got some good news as DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz will be resigning. Good news.

You could vote for Gary Johnston, the Libertarian candidate. Otherwise, just go to ISideWith.com and answer a variety of questions. At the end of it, it will give you the party and candidate that you most identify with.
