…I did not vote for Trump. But I could not vote for Clinton, either. It did not matter anyway in the state I was in, so it was an easy decision to leave the presidential choice blank.
At the moment I do not intend to vote for Biden. And I would never, ever vote for Trump. So unless Biden does something truly dramatic to reach out to progressives, like naming Nina Turner as his VP choice, it looks like I’ll be leaving it blank again.

Hi willyt,
Nope – voted for Jill Stein in 2016.
Each citizen and voter has the following general options in every election:
- Vote for either duopoly candidate (D or R)
- Vote third party
- Vote write in candidate
- No Vote
We all have many options.

Thought about voting for Stein. Maybe I should have. Didn’t matter. I voted in Delaware so Clinton winning was never in doubt.
(and I’m sorry to say that so far he is no worse than any other president in my lifetime – starting with LBJ – that’s how bad they all were…)
Lets face it – Hillary would have been worse. I voted for the most liberal candidate that actually had a chance to win.

In the Ken Burns documentary “Vietnam” there are a number of clips of Lyndon Johnson talking about the war.
People think Trump is an aggressive, english-challenged asshole? Just listen to LBJ justify expanding the war in southeast Asia.

no comparison.
lbj may have been an aggressive asshole, but he wasn’t ‘english-challenged’ & he certainly wasn’t stupid.
and he was not devoid of empathy or incapable of taking the perspective of another, either.
and he didn’t come from money.

I agree with @coldmountaintrail
Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act, and Medicare. He took us waist deep into the Big Muddy and could be a mean SOB, but I think it’s absurd to compare LBJ to Trump.
To quote Jules Winfield:
Comparing Trump to LBJ “ain’t the same fuckin’ ballpark, it ain’t the same league, it ain’t even the same fuckin’ sport.” -

to my ear it sounded petty and english-challenged.
My point was that so many Democrats (and others) make sport of ridiculing Trump’s manner of speaking, which is admittedly grotesque. But so what? There have been other Presidents – Republican and Democrat – that could also be skewered for the same shortcoming.
I suppose it’s all part of the “Trump is the worst human being ever” mantra, but it’s ultimately a useless endeavor to ridicule the man for personal traits. Those who hate him already will just nod, those who support him will dig in their heels further, and many in the middle will see it as name-calling.
In a larger and longer-term context, it’s time we get out of the habit of reflexively ridiculing Republicans and lionizing Democrats. We should be objectively and constructively criticizing both.

one swan doesn’t = summer & 1 clip doesn’t = lbj
if you’d posted the clip maybe we could tell what gave you that impression but it wasn’t my impression living through *all* of lbj
(& a tx/southern accent doesn’t = english-challenged)

I mean come on, just spend some time here and you will see a wide range of opinions. You seem to be trying to troll people who aren’t Biden supporters. That seems like some sort of thing one might have acquired at SV. Argue points all you want, but I would suggest that you tone down the straw men polls and other non-useful posts. Join in a serious debate, not a one liner debate.

There are some things that just need to be said. Thanks N2Doc for saying what most of us were probably thinking.
Is ignoring someone on a political board virtual social distancing?

… and therefore, it should not shock you that a lot of answers (including my own) address the decision to vote for Jill Stein, which is another way of saying, “not any blue is gonna do”.
So, Willy… Some people don’t like to be provoked unless you have a large point to make on WHO and WHY.
I know who you didn’t vote for, and yet I see no comments here to explain why ANYONE would have voted for the “blue”, which, let’s face it, is a giant “fake blue” anything. See…. the colors are beginning to run, WillyT…
Hell, no... I'm not giving up...

Donated and enthusiastically voted for Jill Stein.
I voted Democratic down ticket (mostly).

It’s none of your business, now is it WillyT?
In America, the vote is private. For a lot of reasons.
One, is the fact that asking how everyone voted leads to huge problems due to things called emotions.
This thread is an absolute borderline topic for that very reason.
Don’t take this wrong. It’s none of your fucking business……

I voted for Jill Stein and will vote Green again this time.
I saw Trump as the lesser of two evils over Clinton, so if I was in a battle ground state, I probably would have voted for Trump. Part of my reasoning is to end or try to end, the neoliberal Democratic Party. At this point, I think it’s beyond all hope.

Mostly because I felt there was no way Trump would win. But Hillary managed to blow it. I am voting for Biden in the GE but I am very unhappy about how the establishment and media gained up on Bernie. I agree with Trump on nearly 0% of things and Biden is higher than that. Plus, Biden is not a sociopath who stirs up the crazies in this country. All that said, still so disappointed that Bernie is not the nominee!

You can ask me who I voted for anytime. I’m a progressive.
Would slit my own throat before I’d vote for a psycho fascist like Trump.

I don’t vote for racists, fascists or toxic waste.
But I don’t see myself voting for Biden. He represents the part of the Democratic party that has done great harm to me economically, as well as friends and acquaintances, and then we had Obama stand near the grave of my wife’s career and lecture me about how it was for our own good. BULLSHIT!!!
So that’s why I have no interest in fucking voting for Biden!
At this point I liken it to someone jumping out of a burning building to certain death. But hey, at least I’m in control. And that makes sense on a psychological level. Make no mistake, this is what the leadership of the Democratic party has left us.
Now if Biden wants to fall on his sword and beg forgiveness…well I’ll think about it.

Most of today’s elites have the moral and social reasoning capacities of spoiled toddlers.

Went Jill Stein here.
I know a few people who might vote Trump now instead due to being pissed.
Well, I don’t blame them. I blame the DNC for the crap they pull.
They seriously have lost a lot of ground with the Youth vote, among others. This will take generations to fix.
Heck, even my brother who is just finishing his degree thought about it for a few moments before I dissuaded him. 3rd Party or write-in is the way to go if you can’t vote for Biden. Just to show that you are still engaged and voting, but still not going for either party due to what they currently stand for.
That’s not just him, that applies with him and his peers. He is in the 20’s age group, so the Democrats are slowly losing their college level voters.
These will be voters for years to come.
That is what the Democratic Party is losing at this time due to their greed and moronic behavior.
