I understand that everyone is pissed off at the current nominees for President. No one wants to vote for the lesser of two evils, but there currently is no choice but to vote for the lesser of two evils, which is undoubtedly Clinton. It's not going to be Gary, and it's not going to be Jill. The media simply will not give them the same amount of attention that they will give Clinton and Trump. There are also Bernie supporters who are saying they will write in "Bernie Sanders" instead of voting for Clinton. Really really bad idea.

In 2000 the race between Gore and Bush was really close. Apparently Gore wasn't good enough for almost 3 million voters and went with Ralph Nader. Those votes could have prevented 8 years of Bush.

We need to put our frustrations with the establishment to the side, sober up, and realize that Hillary is the only logical choice. She may not bring about change right now, but at least with her there's an opportunity for incremental change.

If a third party candidate gets 5% of the vote, they'll get equal ballot access and federal funding for the next cycle.

It's not about winning.

If not for that, then yeah, of course I'd vote for Clinton.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
Johnson is polling at 12 percent nationally, son.
THIS IS OUR YEAR TO WIN THAT FIVE

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.

This drops to around 4-6pc when Jill Stein is considered as a candidate, and there is an average margin of error of ~3pc.

That being said, there was a poll by NBC news with the biggest sample size I've seen for this cycle that put him at 9pc with a margin of error of 1.4pc.

We can rest easy knowing the Green Party won't hit that threshold, though.
