...and well liked. As for ppl that do not vote for Clinton as non-voters... that is a clueless statement. I know at least 6 hard core Dems over 50 that will not vote for her, but always voted. 2 have already said Stein.

No, only dumbasses will vote for Stein, Trump, or Johnson. FSogol Jun 2016 #6

I am positive they will... alittlelark Jun 2016 #7

Yes because marijuana legalization is the only important issue. Agschmid Jun 2016 #9

He's still better than Trump (for a real conservative voter, not a nativist racist asshole) JonLeibowitz Jun 2016 #76

Johnson is a frigging clown. Sure, some emotionally stunted Ayn Rand fans FSogol Jun 2016 #10

The liberals right now are at 12%, and all of those partys probably think you a fool too swhisper1 Jun 2016 #71

Not to mention, if he can get to 15%, he appears at the debate. Bob41213 Jun 2016 #72

I think it is healthy to have a third voice in the debates, if he is allowed to talk swhisper1 Jun 2016 #73

Probably not. In 2012, Johnson was polling 8%, ended up with 1%. Stein got 0.35%. TwilightZone Jun 2016 #8

I stand by my prediction... Both will get 3%+ alittlelark Jun 2016 #52

I'm sure you do; but, the outcome will not come out well. 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #55

That could certainly be the case.. but I still think alittlelark Jun 2016 #59

Four parties under the electoral college system are not an improvement. It means congress stevenleser Jun 2016 #41

I admit to not being 'up to speed' on this issue - alittlelark Jun 2016 #43

The problem with multiple parties under the electoral college system is the requirement stevenleser Jun 2016 #44

Sounds like sane liberal people need to take over Congress.... alittlelark Jun 2016 #45
