I've decided I'm voting for Ms. Stein though I'm certainly open to McMullin winning me over in the next couple of weeks. I would love to hear the two of them debate one another.

I'm asking that each of you join me in voting for either Stein or McMullin.

The only thing I know about Jill Stein is that she's a whacko who believes innoculating your children causes autism. Guess that kind of thing comes with the territory for Green Party candidates though.

Johnson has not covered himself in glory in this campaign. Having been found to have some gaps in his foreign knowledge, rather than try to make up for it, he still displayed it. I also think that Bbauska would disagree with Johnson on his immigration policy alone.

Both of the main third party candidates are pretty poor, frankly.

Do they have any overlapping policy positions? I don't think so.

I hadn't heard of McMullin before. If I weren't a social liberal he would have my vote. He's certainly way better than Trump.

Stein and Johnson don't stand up to much scrutiny.

Geo,

I don't know much about either. I've heard them both speak a handful of times recently and was impressed with both of them. I'm simply looking for a way to vote and maintain my integrity.

To be perfectly honest, I would vote for any Redscaper if one of you had the balls to run. And I'm serious. I have more respect for the political minds here than anywhere else. What's the matter with you lot anyway. Cowards!!

Not being a billionaire also puts a bit of a downer on my campaign.

What person in their right mind would want to? Get subjected to an endless series of attack on your character and have everything you ever did or said parsed through with a jaundiced eye. You would have to have skin made of titanium to get through that. Civility has left the building.
