If you're a US Voter, have you ever considered voting Third Party?

I don't think Hillary will lose to Sanders in the end. She has a pretty good lock on the superdelegates and with them and the delegate count she has now Sanders would need a lot of the supers to defect from the Hillary camp.

@softbabe44 Take a look at Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate. Give some thought to the idea of voting third party. When people tell you a third party vote is a wasted vote, remind them that Abe Lincoln was a third party candidate.

@DWDavis So what can we do n a lot of anything huh

The difference in the hate between Donald and Hillary is that Donald shows his on the surface, while Hillary hides hers in well thought out rhetoric.

@LadyDuck Donald was born into wealth and has always had someone there to bail him out when he failed, which was often. He's got an arrogant and inflated sense of his own importance and has always gotten what he wants through bullying and intimidation. Those are the only tactics he understands. Those are not good qualities for a President. He is, as you wrote, not fit for the role.

@DWDavis Donald is so aggressive, he does not seem fit to be a President, he completely lack diplomacy.

@DWDavis I do as well, I think most thinking people are not happy with the choices available at this time DW.

I think this may be the year a well organized third party could make enough of a dent in the popular vote to earn some respect from the news media and a real place on the debate stage.

@CoralLevang is contemplating a write-in campaign to elect me President. I'm not sure what the write-in rules are in Georgia. You can also look into the third party candidates. If enough people vote for the Libertarian Candidate (the only third party with even an outside shot at making a difference) it may just shake up the major parties enough to get some changes made.

@CoralLevang It would be interesting to see what would happen if my name came up on write in ballots in several states. I wonder if I'd get any mention in the media.

I've been giving the idea of voting third party a lot of thought this year as I cannot see myself, in good conscience, voting for either of the front runners.

I respectfully disagree. By your reckoning, unless the polls showed the race to close to call come election day, everyone who votes for the projected loser is wasting their vote. As long as I vote my conscience, my vote is not wasted. Your argument is loved by the Democrat and Republican parties alike because it feeds into their desire to forever quell any real dissent among the voters. As for Ross Perot, polling data shows that he actually reduced Clinton's support more than he did Bush's by a ratio of 4 to 1, and Clinton still won. The margin of victory without Perot in the race would likely have been nearly 16 percentage points in Clinton's favor, handing Bush the worst election loss since FDR beat Herbert Hoover in 1932.

@DWDavis You are incorrect about Perot. I have seen the hard numbers and done the math. Bush votes plus Perot votes easily defeats Clinton. The hard right conservatives went for Perot and the last person they would ever support was Clinton. Even at that Clinton's margin of victory over Bush wasn't that great. I understand voting your conscience. But do you seriously think a third party candidate stands a ghost of a chance? History says no. Woodrow Wilson should have never been elected as Taft should have been re-elected but Teddy R. ran third party splitting the Republican vote. Yes, your conscience may be appeased but is the distaste of Trump so great as to give a third party vote which is essentially a vote for Clinton? If you can live with that, then one is not in a position to complain about Clinton or whomever because you had your chance to prevent them from office and voting third party may be noble but not viable.

@JohnRoberts You are assuming all the Perot voters would have voted for Bush. Surveys of Perot voters before and after indicated this was not the case. While a good number of them may have voted for Bush, it would not enough to win him the election. Trump's negatives among almost every demographic group except angry middle class and low income whites are huge. His supporters are overwhelming white, non-college educated, opposed to immigration, and racially biased, according to a study of who is voting for Trump in the primaries and caucuses. While that may win him the Republican nomination it won't win him the general election. According to the latest average of national polling data, as of March 24, Clinton is leading Trump by just over 11 points, 50-38.8% In the meantime, the Libertarian Candidate is showing well for a third party at 11%. Even CNN, the Clinton News Network, has picked up on this story. With or without my vote, the Libertarian Party is likely to have its best showing in a long time, perhaps ever. It is not unheard of in our history for a third party to not only win the Presidency, but to ascend to become a major party and herald the end of a party that has lost the support of the people. The Republican Party was once such a party. America needs a viable third alternative to the two current parties. A choice between a fascist oligarchy controlled by corporate elites and a socialist oligarchy controlled by, surprise, those same corporate elites is really no choice at all. Whether Hillary or Donald win, it will still be the 1% who are really calling the shots and making sure the rest of us 99% are kept in our places.

We survived Grant (arguably one of the worst Presidents ever), Hoover (his hands-off approach to Wall Street set up the conditions that led to the Great Depression), and Carter (whose answer to America's economic woes was turn down the thermostat, put on a sweater, and get used to a lower standard of living). I'm sure we'll survive Hillary or Donald, though I don't look forward to what it is we'll have to survive through.

Would you consider it if the two main party candidates were totally unpalatable to you?

My first Presidential election was in 1980. 80, 84, and 88 were pretty easy for me to decide. 92 not so much. 96. 00, 04, 08, and 12 were more of a challenge. This year, choosing who to vote for will be more of a challenge than ever.

Have you checked into your state's rules on write-in candidates? Would you ever consider writing in your vote?

I see it as more between the devil and his nasty, hateful ex-wife,

Thinking that a third party vote is a wasted vote is exactly what the Democrat and Republican Party want you to think. It helps them keep their Binopoly on the electorate.
