If you were american, who would you vote for in the elections?

Poll

Who would you vote for?

As we approach the US presidential elections, I think it'd be interesting to see who TSR would vote for. We have had a few threads like this, but not with all the candidates, so I will be adding libertarian, green and constitution party candidates to the poll.


I think I would choose Trump since I would never vote Hillary and Gary Johnson strikes me as way too moderate for a libertarian.

I am American but not old enough yet to vote, but Clinton.

I want Bernie tho.

Clinton, not because I like her very much but Trump is a disease.
Never ever trump. Either you have Hilary (a bad president for a few years), or Trump, a man whose company has been bankrupt several times, has a 'special relationship' with the awful Vladimir Putin, is openly admired by Kim Jong Un. Trump is also racist, homophobic, and misogynistic, and admits to wanting to use nukes on America's enemies.

Anyone who votes for Trump is a certified moron.

Those are some serious claims without any citations. I'm not saying you're wrong, I just haven't seen the right clips or interviews to come to that conclusion. Good job for not grouping people up like some tend to do, by the way; that's admirable of you.

:h:
These elections its either Clinton or Trump... So Clinton.

Trump is poison

The rest makes sense, the highlighted stuff doesn't. I don't recall him being any of those things. The only argument you may have is homophobic, and that is only because he believes gay marriage should be a state issue rather than a federal one.

Gary Johnson he speaks quite a bit of sense and I just cannot stand Trump or Hillary. I know Gary will never get in because he wont get enough votes and so it is really only a choice between Hillary and trump, but I think their is something wrong with that and I feel if your not part of the solution you are part of the problem.
Jill Stein, but if I had to vote for one of the two main candidates, Hillary >>>>>> Trump

Trump. That's not to say I support him whole heartedly, I think there are incredible problems with some of his policies.

I don't remember having received a certificate though.

Trump without a doubt - he is the future of modern politics.

Anyone who supports that murderous, lying, left-wing scumbag of a woman - SHAME ON YOU.
Anyone but Trump. I just don't trust him. Not to say I trust politicians.. I just trust him less.

Congress will act as a buffer but I still think that out of Trump and Hillary, Hillary would probably do the least damage. Trump's views on climate change, fiscal policy and civil liberty are essentially irreconcilable.

Also I wouldn't vote for a third party due to a combination of the fact that they are somewhat insane and the FPTP system.

Trump, Clinton should honestly drop out now, I think Bernie Sanders would have a better chance at winning for the Democrats.

Clinton is a psycho, Trump is an idiot, the demolition of social welfare and perpetuation of privatisation that Libertarians advocate hurt me in the conscience, and I have little idea what Castle stands for but apparently I disagree with him on almost everything, so I'd probably vote for Jill Stein.
