Its getting close to election time and I still have no idea who I am going to vote for. I was really hoping Hilary Clinton would get the vote but she lost out. Now Im not so sure which is the lesser of the two evils! I havent really been keeping up on thier ideas and promises. Id like to know what everyone else thinks and maybe I can catch up on the information. Thanks

Honestly I haven't made up my mind yet on either one of them. I would have voted for Hilary Clinton myself. I liked Bill Clinton as President so I really knew what to expect from her. 
But oh well, that is over - at least for this election.
Rest assured, I will be voting this November but I am going to thoroughly read up on what each of the candidates stands are and what their promises are.
It irritates me to no end when I speak with friends and family about politics and the state of our country right now and they are complaining, etc. Then I come to find out that they are not registered to vote, and/or have never voted before. These are people in their 30's and older! How can you sit there and complain about something or someone and you are not even taking advantage of your right to vote! I don't understand it. People need to register to vote and once registered, actually go out and vote! It doesn't take that long to vote. At least we have the opportunity in this country to have our voices heard.
Anyways, sorry about that last little bit. But really, you can't complain if you don't ever bother to choose who you want. It is not a spectator sport!

I am definitely going to vote. I don't want a certain individual to be president. If he gets elected and I didn't vote then I have no right to talk trash. Personally I don't think the other guy has a chance but I'm still voting just so I can have my say in it.

I'm not sure who I'm voting for. I'm disappointed in the democratic candidate so I'm not sure. I may go third party.
