In reply to the discussion: IF the polls in Utah say Trump then McMullin then Hill, should Democrat voters vote for McMullin? [View all]PoindexterOglethorpe
(25,853 posts)Perhaps you are not aware of that. And early voters seem to be largely Democratic voters (NOT Democrat voters -- that's insulting), who probably don't give a flying fuck about McMuffin. By election day at least a third of all voters nationwide will have voted. And those percentages will be higher in those states, like Utah, with early in-person voting, since two of our more populous states, New York and Pennsylvania, don't have early voting. And Michigan likewise doesn't have early voting. So subtract them, and I'm guessing that in those states that have it, forty percent or more of voters will cast their ballots before November 8.
In a few years, especially if all states adopt early voting or vote by mail only, probably up to 80% will vote early.
People should vote for the candidate they prefer. That said, McMuffin has zero chance of becoming President, same as Stein, Johnson, or any one of the many other people running for President.
So, at the risk of repeating myself, Democrats should vote for the Democratic candidate.
