What is it that you hope Mr. Lincoln would do for you? (Aside from proofreading, I mean).

The longest investigation in Congressional history turned up diddly squat. She’s a centrist Democrat, much like Obama. Since Obama has been an above average president, expect much the same from Hillary.

What do you think would happen if _every_ voter “wasted their vote” on a third party?

We’d have a third party President … which might actually be a good thing.

I wonder if it’s possible to grant US citizenship to King George VI and Queen Elizabeth retroactively … that would make Queen Elizabeth II a US citizen as well and eligible to be our President … and the UK could sure use some good news these days …

Nah … the good news is that the UK would finally get her colonies back … that would be a big boost to the UK Pound.

It’s better than evil …

A bit on the cruel side, but well-executed. I shamefacedly applaud you.

But to the OP: if you really don’t want to vote for either Trump or Clinton, I would prefer you considered - and cast your vote for - a third-party candidate than not vote at all. Third parties need all the support they can get.

What would happen if a sharknado struck my town? About as likely. Like it or not, the US is a two party nation. If a third party ever got significant support, one of the other parties would pull the rug out from under it and adopt enough of its principles to render that third party unimportant again.

Thanks! Shamefaced applause is the most delicious kind of applause.

[QUOTE=Anthony Jeselnik, Shakespeare]

We’re almost done here, guys, but let me tell you this: Going, “Ooooh!” after a joke is just like laughing…

…but for pussies.  
[/QUOTE]

And to contribute: OP, I find it’s a pretty rare thing to have someone to vote _for_, outright. Often, it’s voting against, or voting for while holding your nose for the tactics of it all. Or voting as a protest, or on a single principle, or maybe just staying home - but that kinda robs of you of some righteous vehemence when you bitch about the state of things later.

I do not like Hillary, I do not like Trump,  
I do not like them in a house,  
I do not like them with a mouse,  
I do not like them here or there,  
I do not like them anywhere,  
I do not like green eggs and ham,  
I do not like them, Sam-I-am.

It had to be said.\*

\*Not really.

The word “president” is not capitalized in these situations.
