Please vote

Forget the 2 candidates they are truly the worst of what we are as a people. vote for the local stuff at least! they have the greatest impact on our day to day lives
 
Already voted! Kinda desolate up here in ND, so we vote "in absentia" in my county. Voted Trump! I think I have anybody who would disagree with me on ignore!! Ha ha
 
I will absolutely vote against any anti gun candidate,
who ever she maybe.

Dragman rethink your comment. You may not like Trump,
but failing to vote for him is a vote for anti American/anti gun
Hillary
When shes in, gun boards will not have a reason to exist for you
to participate on.
Have you seen the videos of all the firearms in AU going under
the torch and chop saw??? Hillary is all in favor of this, what about
you???? LDS

We are approaching the climax of what is certainly the most absurd presidential election I have ever witnessed. The US political duopoly has presented the electorate with a choice between a pair of insane megalomaniacs, one psychopath, one sociopath. The populous, having been conditioned from birth to believe that they have no other options, believe that they must vote for one or the other evil choice.

I'll share a bit of truth that came to me as a small epiphany several elections back. YOUR VOTE PROBABLY DOESN'T MATTER. Many American voters seem to labor under the delusion that the President is elected by popular vote. This is simply not the case. We vote by states to select Electors who vote for the President. In all but two states (Maine & Nebraska), this is a "winner take all" system. Many states are so strongly "red" or "blue" the you can vote for any candidate, write-in yourself or stay home an it will have absolutely no impact on the election.

If you vote in one of the "battleground" states (e.g. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida) your vote does count and you should vote your conscience, holding your nose as necessary. If you live in a highly partisan winner-take-all state (e.g. California, New York, Texas, Mississippi, etc.) your vote will neither change nor reinforce the outcome in any way, shape or form. In other words, your vote is not important.

But you can use your vote to both send a message and insure the continuation of a viable political alternative. Staying home only sends the message that you're lazy and don't care. A vote for Gary Johnson sends the message that you reject the duopoly's stranglehold on American politics and pathetic choice of candidates. It also can send the message that the winner governs without the consent of the majority of the voters. If Johnson receives at least 5% of the vote it also assures that Libertarians receive matching funds to keep their voice alive in the political arena.
 
Well said DRN, I'm voting Johnson, not because I think he has a chance to win but I won't vote for someone I can't respect. If more would do the same we would have a viable 3rd party.
 
That's the logic that has us stuck with 2 horrible choices. It will never change if we don't. The republican party is pretty much broken as it is, they're due a major overhaul. My state (TN) is die hard republican for the most part so its not like there's much chance of it going Dem anyway.

If you'll look at the electoral map, Clinton has to win only one battleground state to surpass 270.
 
Why waste a vote that could be counted toward our continued second amendment freedom.
You have yet to understand. I did vote for the 2nd Amendment. My voting for Trump would not have made any difference today or in the future. Voting Libertarian at least makes a statement that I'm not bound by the political duopoly's paradigm.
