The country at this time is a two party majority system. Parties like the Libertarian Green would need to form a coalition if they ever won this major office. Does anyone think that could happen in today's world? Talk about grid lock and a do nothing congress.
This election I like the majority will be voting for the lesser of two evils. I think HRC can and will be a good President. I just wished for some young new blood this time around.

We have winner-take-all elections. There's no prize for coming in second, let alone third or fourth. Two major left vs right parties, by the nature of human personalities and swings back and forth, can take turns winning (absent gerrymandering). Third parties pretty much can never win.

To be honest, and it kills me to say, my vote means squat here in Michigan. She will win this state no matter how I vote.

The idea of voting for someone less well informed than myself is ridiculous.

Check my latest post in Hillary for Pres. The article backs up what I have always perceived was going on Misogyny run rampant.

And, misogyny is the only possible explanation for why anyone could fail to support such a paragon of virtue and political perspicacity.

I've thought about voting for him, but only because I despise the other two. The Libertarian vote gives me an out. I can still fulfill my duty to vote, but have a clear conscience when he loses. I know; "That's a cop out.", and you'd be right. It is.
But, that's what I'm down too. Sad times indeed.
