Some people would suggest that due to the importance of this election, we should be consider it a high priority to vote on Election Day. I would disagree with that because our nation is disgraced with an election cycle that is governed by fear and disgust, instead of admiration and hope for prosperity and a passionate undertaking to address American shortcoming.

Neither Clinton or Trump can count upon the cheap support of the partisans. This should seem humoring but it is not. It suggests that these two individuals are so reprehensible that it even dispels the resolved force of those old loyalties, as blind as they might be.

And while those partisans balk in disgust at the thought of their presumptive candidates, a different sort of loyalty makes irrational the independent voters across America. This is not a loyalty to the party platform, but rather one to the election cycle itself.

Very few people like either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton and we should not be coerced into voting for either of them. By participating in a system that forces these candidates upon us, we are complicit and therefore responsible for the fallout it will inevitably create. If we are truly concerned about the future of America, we should work against a system that does no good for our nation.

I refuse to recognize either candidate as the elected president of the United States should they take that office. This is how I choose to participate in this 'election.'

Hunter and Hoffman were right. But that's another chapter.
A shrewd specter, I've managed to squirrel away enough psilocybin to make sure I survive this election year relatively unscathed.
And I ain't voting for either one of those freaks.

Your psycho politicians over there make ours look positively dull and reasonable.

I did not know about these ones. Trump sounds very anger, though. And why do we not like Clinton? I am asking not because I like her, because I don't know.

She is a notorious liar, with a history of corruption. Her progressive political positions are not held genuinely but out of necessity. People are worried that they would be giving their votes to a fraud if they voted for her.

Oh... that is bad... why are we now limited to only these ones?

Because we only have two parties that have a realistic shot at the presidency and Trump and Clinton are our choices. I've disliked this entire election cycle, there were lots of more reasonable options on both sides but the way the chips fell this year it seems like we got royally screwed. If I have to vote I'd vote Clinton just so that bigot Trump doesn't become president and I don't even like Clinton.

Oh dear... this sounds dislike... I am glad to be a citizen of Germany and not involved in this :P

I personally hate politics because all it seems to do is separate people, however listening to you folks discuss it is fairly entertaining.

Politics can be quite poisonous to relationships between people. It's because many feel morally or intellectually superior to others for voting a certain way.

I get your thought, but I don't think it's as simple as that.

It's an opinion that people hold very highly, sometimes too highly. They dedicate themselves more to their ideals than they do to their fellow man.

It's not as simple as that, no. But it does hold true for many people. All you need to do is read the comments of online newspapers to see just how nasty political discourse can become.

And I love talking about it, so win-win situation I guess.

Yes but internet anonymity allows for much more disingenuous and hateful discourse towards one another. If these people spoke face to face they would be much more reasonable and less trolly (I hope)

We define ourselves as a species by divisions and we find a multitude of ways to separate ourselves into groups whether its race, skin color, politics, religion or socioeconomic stratification. In that regard politics are no more culpable than a host of imo more culpable and arbitrary factors.

Well that leads people to getting punched or ostracised. Only the latter applies here but there is less need of formalities and such different faux pas or degrees.

Politics is strange. In Germany, parties can work together to create a coalition if no parties have a majority vote. It makes compromise. Also, in Germany the Deutsche Kommunistische Partei or Communist Party is alive and functional, although they have few active members of government at now moment.. This seems surprising to many Americans.

Communism is not favored here in the states. We're just now getting to know democratic socialism.
