I’m curious how many peoples’ minds are already set in stone…
I haven’t decided my vote on some of the ballot propositions in California yet. But as for President, Hillary Clinton is my woman.
Yes. In fact, my ballot arrived via email the other day; I’ve already filled it out and will mail it out shortly. Only reason I didn’t mail it yesterday is that I forgot to take it with me into town.
(Expat, living in Australia, registered in my last home in the States - Florida).
I selected “mostly sure”, although I’m hard-pressed to say what might change my mind at this point. For example, I’d probably go with my chosen candidate even if they literally were revealed to be a shape-shifting alien lizard. Minion of Satan, however? That one I’d have to think about.
I think the difference between the top two answers may have more to do with the person than how sure they are. Do you consider extremely unlikely possibilities that would make it impossible to vote for the person, for example? (Like either me or the candidate dying, for example.)
I mean, I know I can’t vote for one candidate. And I know which party has my ideals, so I couldn’t vote for their VP. I like one candidate, and love one VP candidate. I don’t see anything remotely likely to happen that could change my vote. But is that the first answer or the second?
I went with the first. When I was younger, I would have gone for the second, even if I were just as sure. I’m the guy who gave 4/5 all the time until I learned that it penalized people.
I 100% know who I am voting against. That’s for damn sure.
(eta: So I guess that means I know who I’m voting for)
Yes, absolutely. It’s been clear for months. One is wholly unsuitable and not a serious person, and one is a serious person who is suitable.
I’ve known who I’d be voting for in this election ever since Obama pulled ahead in the primary in 2008.
I never imagined who I’d be voting against.
You need another option for: My ballot is already cast. I put it in the mail on Tuesday.
I will vote as I always do, straight Democratic ticket. Unless the Democrats ever nominate someone on a par with Trump, that will never change.
I’ve been planning to vote for Hillary since this ad appeared on Youtube.
I have yet to find a republican candidate whose base policies and fundamental ideology I can agree with so it hasn’t really been a debate for me.
Normally at this stage of the campaign I’d be mostly or fairly sure. Remember John McCain’s mishandling of the issue when the Wall Street meltdown hit in 2008 – something of that magnitude.
But let’s face it. We have a major party candidate who is the embodiment of the phrase “capitalist pig,” a third-party candidate whose position on global climate change is that we’re all going to die someday anyway, and another third-party candidate who’s an MD but can’t seem to answer a simple question about vaccinations without raising doubts.
To paraphrase former Louisiana governor Edwin “Vote for the crook - It’s important!” Edwards, I will vote for the Democratic candidate even if she is caught in bed with BOTH a dead girl and a live boy.
I was going to vote Gary Johnson but now I am not sure about that either. Write-in or yet another third-party.
I filled out my absentee ballot today (expat, voting in Virginia) and my 19-year-old son filled out his, voting in his first US election. I’m surprisingly emotional about that second fact. I wouldn’t have looked over his shoulder, but he showed me his ballot after he filled it out, so that’s two votes for Hillary Clinton that will go out early next week.
President, yes. I’m voting Hillary no matter what. I have requested my ballot from the City of Chicago and I still have some research to do on local offices and judges. But, Clinton, Duckworth, and Quigley are set in stone.
I’m only unsure of one thing: Should I just fill in the “Straight Democratic ticket” oval, or should I give myself the pleasure of seeing the oval next to Hillary Clinton’s name blackened in (as well as every other Democrat on the ballot)?
Never liked Hillary much. A little tired of Democrats in the White House. Some GOP guys that I thought would be interesting Presidents.
But Trump *cannot *be President. There are no other issues.
Mostly sure. for all my bullshit about not voting third party, I may vote third party. Not Stein, but I may vote for Zoltan Istvan. This is the first election with a transhumanist candidate and I do not live in a swing state. If I lived in a swing state then obviously it’d be Clinton.
My only concern is that Trump is such a disgrace that he needs to lose by as big a margin as possible. It isn’t enough that Trump loses, he has to lose enough that the GOP realizes it is a mistake to let the most stupid and crazy 5% of the electorate pick their candidates.
99.999…% sure, but my engineer mind can’t say that the Sun will rise tommorow, only that historically it probably will.
I am voting for the same person I voted for in 2012: Gary Johnson.
