Donovan Mitchell - We are lucky to have him

There were no other candidates I wanted to support or vote for this past election. Votes outside of Hillary and Trump were all for naught too - 100%. This is why I'm so against a two party system and why it's annoying when people say you could have voted for someone else. Yeah, ok, buddy.
And this comment is how you know the media can make you believe what they want. These are the only two candidates, vote for one of them....except there were other choices and if less people thought like this we’d be better off. The next election I will vote against this man, not for something. I’ve had enough of him and his disgusting base.

Its a two party system because everyone says that it is and wont vote for another party, like you. Getting a 3rd party to be viable doesnt even require that party to win the presidents seat or an election. Even just getting 5% would do wonders for getting a viable 3rd party. Its not a wasted vote if you are looking at the long term, but too many people think its throwing their vote away. Not voting is not a good solution to solve things.

So if you are actually against the two party system vote that way. If everyone who feels like you did we would have a 3rd party or more. Democrats and Republicans put a large effort into making you think its a 2 party system and you have to vote for one or the other. Too many people give into their propaganda.

No individual vote matters regardless of whether you like the candidates, but if enough people just vote for who they want and dont worry about it being a wasted vote it will make a difference. At the very least you can know you tried to make a difference and did something.
 
Not a bad idea... I’m in. I never really thought of it that way. I don’t see it changing but the generations coming up seem increasingly frustrated with the current system/setup.
I agree.

That is one of the reasons that I think there is a silver lining to Trump winning. Between Trump and Bernie it made young people care about our government and voting, more than they have. It made so many people look into laws and policies that they dont like and want to change them. It rallied a lot of people to get involved. Maybe it wont make a difference but I think it might.

Who were the other choices I was comfortable to vote for? Please, tell me.

Sigh.

I know what I did and why, guys.

hehepeepeecaca

I get what you're saying, but at the end of the day, this still doesn't change the reality of last election. There needs to be change way before election. There needs to be more people on board, informed, and willing to look past team Edward and team Jacob.

Nothing can change the past election. Its also far to late to try and make a change in policy or parties who can win during the election. Those things take a long time and a large effort. There are plenty of people on board for change and for other parties. People just need to do something about it and the first thing is to vote for who they want and to stop telling everyone their vote doesnt matter.

Just because my vote mattered for you or others, doesn't mean it mattered for me. I was not invested in anyone running for president and knew I'd support the president and the US the best I could.

People fought and died for our right to vote. I also like to think they did the same so that we're not forced to vote when we're not happy with who's running.
