us election thread

[GSOM]

I've not been entirely sold on the validity of usuncut as a news source this primary season, but I found this to be interesting. Jill Stein shared it on her Facebook a few days back(FWIW).

I'm not sure what this adds to the discussion, necessarily, but it's a trend I'd like to see continue. I'd think it'd spook the fuck out of the DNC if a large portion of young and independent voters flock to a Green Party and/or Libertarian candidate. I'm a fan of this whole "voting with your conscience" thing. I disagree immensely with Gary Johnson on fiscal shit, but he's honest, sane. I'll probably vote for whomever out of Johnson/Stein ends up picking up momentum. 

It'll take polling at 15% in a few major polls for Johnson and Stein to get into the debates with Clinton and Trump. Here's to hoping. Johnson at the moment is polling on average between like 8-13%. Stein is a little lower but has been an option in very few major polls. It's for the best that these two get a shot. Pick one, stick to it, vote for 'em. My two cents. Maybe it'll cause a ruckus. Maybe it'll get Trump elected. Who gives a shit? Shake it up.

Here's the fucking Libertarian equivalent of usuncut pumping Johnson's poll numbers.

I used to like Jill Stein but as she progresses further into the spotlight her inadequacy is starting to show. Her discourse is flashy but doesn't seem very solid, and I doubt she'd survive a single debate. As for the libertarians, I like libertarians because they're insane but yeah, they're insane. I don't know much about Gary though.

She has the anti-vax and anti-gmo nonsense. Gary Johnson had kids executed. They're both nutty. Gary has a solid head on his shoulders. Good experience as governor of New Mexico. He has appeal across the tiny, American political spectrum. Smokes weed, climbed the tallest peak on each continent. Jill has been arrested for protesting. They both have the real human being appeal. Definitely not lizards. I kind of loathe the Green Party. I just can't fucking vote for Clinton/Trump.
