I don’t have the Food Network, so… I could write in something silly in case there’s a recount! I could be the new “Lizard People”! But I think Jill Stein is going to get on the ballot, so I’ll probably just do that. 😕 ---

> [@Derleth](#): > > At this point, it’s Clinton versus [Shrieking White-Hot Sphere Of Pure Rage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjonGtrCyVE)\*, so I’m going with the politician who falls within the normal parameters of being a fallible human politician, as opposed to the cartoonishly exaggerated personification of the Nietzschean Superman as filtered through decades of Southern Strategy political signalling and portrayed by a guy who’d be the villain in a movie where the hero is a dog. > > \*(The Onion made this video right after the 2012 election, BTW.)

Gary Johnson. I would consider voting for Hillary if: 1. The polls show a close race going into election day; AND 2. The polls show a realistic possibility that my particular state could go either way. Since I live in a very red state, these two conditions should be mutually exclusive. Meaning that the only scenario where Hillary might be competitive in my state is if she already has an overwhelmingly lead in the national polls. However, this has been such a weird election cycle so far that I’m not ruling anything out. ---
