QOTD #62: Who would you vote for?

If "none of the above" was an option, it would win in a landslide. You probably want to add Rubio, he's somewhat relevant, still.

I'm locked out of the primaries because I can't make peace with Colorado's rules. I have not decided on the least sucky candidate, yet, though I couldn't see myself voting for Trump under any circumstance.

 

I'll vote for Bernie.

My heart is with Dr. Jill Stein but it's not easy being green.

 

I'm leaning more towards Bernie than anyone else. But I still wish Elizabeth Warren would run, and I voted for Jill Stein in the last election.


This is actually the first presidential election where I can vote in the primaries. I refused to declare a party, but in 2012, NC had an issue on the ballot that could ONLY be voted on in the primary, and so I sucked it up because I wasn't going to sit that one out. I was kinda pissed when it passed, not only because of the issue itself, but because I was also "stuck" with a party after that.

 

I would like to see Bernie win. That being said, I will take Hilary over any current republican option. I would like to see Bernie balance out the country. Not that Obama was bad, but I didn't see him push back against the Republican madness enough. Of course, Bernie or Hilary won't be able to do much against the groupthink race to the bottom that the Republican party has engaged in the past few decades. Until they realize that they are not the majority in america and that we are all americans.

 

If Warren entered the race she absolutely would be my first choice.

 

Clinton, as the least sucky choice. It'd take a lot to get me to vote Republican. Sanders has some interesting ideas, but I'd see him as a one term lame duck president because most of his policies would never fly on capital hill.

 

Nobody. Having educated myself as to U.S. history, especially regarding the government's native American record (and I prefer the term 'Indian'), and being part Onondaga, I am through with the United States. I live in Norway and will never go back.

 

Bernie. He's the only real choice of who I would actually want to vote for.

That said, if he doesn't get the nomination, I will vote for Hillary as being distinctively the lesser evil. I think she's a greedy, power-hungry corporate tool, untrustworthy and hawkish and overly willing to sacrifice the needs of others for her own advancement.

But that still makes her better than any of the Republicans, who are either the same plus crazy xenophobic warmongering fascistic radical fundamentalist zealot douchebags, or are crazy xenophobic warmongering fascistic douchebags who are not necessarily fundamentalist zealots but cater to them and not necessarily corporate tools but remain tools nonetheless. If we lived in the Potterverse, they'd all be Death Eaters. If we lived in the Star Wars 'verse, they'd all be Sith. If we lived in Middle-Earth, they would be Nazgul. You get what I'm saying....

 

Pretty much, just take away any interesting backstory or reason to reason to sympathise with them.

 

I'm voting for Bernie, but my entire family and a lot of people I talk to are voting for Trump. Then again most of my family and the people around me are racists conservatives. I'll vote for Bernie but if the south has anything to do with it, Trump will win.

So... @Baraka_Guru... You and @martian can help us get setup in Toronto, right?

 

I don't believe a woman has any business being POTUS or SOS or so on and so forth. I do vote and will cast my vote for that big mouth bigot from NYC.

 

I too am very interested in hearing you explain why a woman shouldn't be president. I'm pretty sure hillary could make both ted cruz and Marco Rubio cry. And they certainly couldn't handle putin. Or Angela Merkel

 

I would also like to know why a woman shouldn't be president. I have many objections to Hillary Clinton, none related to her gender. If we were talking about a genuine progressive woman, like Elizabeth Warren, I'd vote for her in a hot second.

To the best of my knowledge, I don't recall anything in the Constitution regarding the Executive that involves the use of a penis. Though Lord knows plenty of presidents have been dicks....
