So who are you voting for?
What do ideologies have to do with voting anymore? It's just damage control at this point.

True. I'm actually voting against Trump rather than for Hilary.

But ideologies do matter. Both candidates are on opposite sides with a lot of the issues that are important to me.

Ideologies are dumb anyway. They encourage group think and become obsolete after a few decades. I have political beliefs and ****, but sucking some ideology's dick is bull****.

You are just in a liberal bubble instead of being in a republican bubble. It should be much more nuanced instead of just picking which gang color you want to ride for. You decided to be a crip aka blue aka hardcore lib tht will follow Hillary blindly into hell if it exists.

Voting to keep it in place only propels it forward. Stop being an idiot.
Voting against the system or not voting at all isn't going to stop it. You are being naive if you think so and just tossing away your vote but congrats.

Ja because this election is just like all of the other ones. There's nothing that might pave the way for a third party or any other kind of change, nothing like both leading candidates having approval ratings below forty percent, parties being on the verge of collapsing, or a rejuvinated youth vote. Nope, nothing like that in this election at all.

Yes those conditions are primed for some change to happen but I highly doubt it will.

The old juggernaut system will push forward without a dent in it.

So is that where all the Bernie bros are tossing their votes? To Jill Stein? I haven't heard that whiny crowd for some time.

How rejuvenated are today's youths really? I know all the little white kids were thrilled at the chance to vote for a negro back in the day, but I get the impression that was kind of a one-off.

Besides, do we really want young people voting? They generally just jump on whatever anti-establishment bandwagon sounds the best (f.ex. Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders) cause they're too dumb and ignorant to have opinions worth having.

The grass is always greener, but seriously, **** this grass.

That part was based off of the massive rise in youth voting registration.
