Political polarization poll

[Drydess]

it makes me sad whenever I see people being so closed-minded about politics. This is NOT a good place for closed-mindedness.

to be fair not everyone wants to spend their time on politics, but still wants to vote for who makes the best impression on them

like 50-70% of the poll voters aren't legally allowed to vote so lmao

[otto-san]

clinton, slightly likely to change. i will gladly vote johnson or stein if either of them seem like they have a chance, but that probably isn't happening.

[Jairo]

i know you mean well but it is physically impossible for a 3rd party candidate to be elected

at this stage in the game? yes

the strategy now isn't to get stein or johnson elected though, it's to sap votes away from Annoying Orange and clinton

that's probs a rly bad idea if you want anyone but Annoying Orange tho

that's the point

[Akio-]

Planning on voting Annoying Orange but that may change. I'm open minded politically and need to continue educating myself about each candidate before an executive decision. I'm leaning towards Annoying Orange but there's still more for me to conclude.

After seeing all the stuff that Hillary has done, all the stuff that the democrats want to happen
- repeal the second amendment
- let in muslims
- more welfare programs
- free college (will never happen)
- blaming police for doing their jobs
- 15.00 minimum wage (too much of a jump)
- restrict free speech
- keep most of the broken current system we have as is

this along with the Bernie leaks and the general corruption of the American left as a whole makes it a complete moral injustice for me to vote for Hillary, I would literally be voting for the destruction of America or the complete domination of the Democrat party for the forseeable future whatever comes first

I'll explain, the democrats want to let in immigrants on the ground level and keep the poor poor, make them completely dependant on government assistance for their daily lives, and then spend the next 30 years chanting that Republicans are hateful selfish creatures who want to make you work for a living, I say no thanks

Edit: this and the party that gets elected next gets to pick the next supreme court justice, I'd rather have a conservative in there who's not going to take it up the ass from the corrupt democrat establishment

vote Annoying Orange, make America great again!

I plan on voting for Giant Meteor

[Gojira]

can i get an "abstaining" option

i know you mean well but it is physically impossible for a 3rd party candidate to be elected

but it wouldn't be if everyone didn't try to vote "strategically"
it's this horrible nationwide mindset and it ends up with us in positions like this where we have to pick between two cartoon supervillains because no one wants to pick a candidate that they think is going to lose.

[McZealot]

- repeal the second amendment

i don't think any democrat running has suggested this

- let in muslims

well, we're letting in syrians, not just muslims. and even if we let every refugee in it would still be like 1 in 300 people, a drop in the water.

- more welfare programs

seems to work for the rest of the world

- free college (will never happen)

uh?? why not. seems extremely likely if bernie got elected.

you know free college already exists right? it's just hard to get.

- blaming police for doing their jobs

????? i don't think any running democrat has said they hate police but okay

- 15.00 minimum wage (too much of a jump)

i guess but it seems to work for other 1st world nations

- restrict free speech

i don't think that's part of any democrat's policy

- keep most of the broken current system we have as is

not part of bernie sanders policy

itt: warble strawmans the majority of the country

i know but its unfortunately impossible for a. people to get out of that mindset at this point and b. the two most powerful organizations in the united states to not put a lot of money and effort into ensuring nobody thinks 3rd party candidates are viable, effectively making them unviable.

thats kinda worded weird but the point is that the vicegrip the two parties have on america is unbreakable without violent revolution or some other radical change.
