  1. @mrmattimation I primary-voted for Sanders in Georgia but will likely vote for Clinton, at least to keep a third presidential term for the Democrats.

    Not voting Green because Jill Stein is not, IMO, a decent articulator of Green Party values on a presidential candidate level. I would take the Green Party more seriously than a "protest party" if they were to get at least one Congressional seat and a few state legislative seats first, rather than resurface every presidential election year with a vanity presidential candidate who poses as "more holy than the icky Democrats" while pining for Democratic dissident voters. The way that Gary Johnson ragged on the Green Party in the 2012 RT America third party debate without an adequate Jill Stein response was embarrassing to watch. http://rainbowdash.net/url/848449

    Not voting for Johnson and the Libertarians since they are antithetical to the economic reforms which Sanders pushed for.

    Hell no to Trump.

  3. I wonder if rainbowdash.net is one of the larger iterations of # in use. GNU Social seems more mature than # and # I'm a heavy Facebook/Twitter user who is open to alternative, more federated networks.

  4. I went onto isidewith.com to see which US candidate I agree with most. Sanders is a 97% match, Stein and Clinton are both 94%, Johnson is 69% and Trump is 21%.

    I bring this up because after what happened over here, I've become very averse to apolitical, defeatist attitudes. I understand being disenfranchised and thinking your vote won't matter but it's simply not the way to be when you have a voice. If there's a chance that you might make a difference for the better, please go out on a limb and make that fraction of a difference. Vote if you can. If you can't, get informed, get angry if you think you should. You owe it to yourself.
