Is there a difference between voting your conscience and voting your
self-interest? I want both. That would be someone who protects my Social
Security and Medicare and keeps my investments safe and someone who wants a
thriving and expanding middle class and also world peace and prosperity. I'll
never have it all, at least not in my lifetime.

Abby, I don't see that happening. I think Trump is looking for an opportunity
to step out. That is why he has been putting on all of his antics. Usually such
antics alienate voters and the candidate drops out. The problem is that this
year with Trump supporters the most wacked out antics only make him more
popular, even firing his campaign manager which is usually instant death to a
campaign. Trump would like to bow out just prior to the convention, and thus
revealing the real GOP candidate but popular angst isn't letting him.
Concerning voting your conscience. Think of what would happen if 51 percent of
previously democratic voters "voted their consciences"? That would hand the
election to the GOP. That is why I believe voting ones conscience is a very
selfish act that makes the person feel good but brings upon the rest of the
world a negative outcome.

Many Republicans are not happy with their presumptive nominee.
They could also split their vote among Trump, Gary Johnson, someone else
emerging from Cleveland, giving the presidency to Hilary. I will most likely
vote for Jill Stein, but California will vote heavily Democratic. So, I can
safely vote my conscience.

No problem with that as long as you admit that you are a dyed in the wool
republican.

Well, here is an interesting attempt to scare us into voting for Clinton. For
myself, I promise that I will have no regrets the morning after, if I vote for
Jill Stein and awaken to news that Donald Trump won the election. Remember,
the Corporate American Empire will take care of itself. Sure, they will be
happier with Hillary at the helm, but don't think for one second that they will
allow Donald to mess up their game plan. What they did for mild mannered Barak
Obama, the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, is exactly what they can do for the
mouthy Trumpet. And for you who think Trump will make life harder for the
Working Class? Hey!!! Wake up! Things have been getting worse under every
president since Richard Nixon. Hillary has already promised that social reform
will need to go slow. Slow may mean, "Not on my watch". As long as we, the
Workers of America are scared into supporting the very Establishment that is
eating us out of house and home, life will become harder. And it will be those
who are stampeded into backing either of these two Shills, who will wake up
regretting their vote...waking up under the nearest bridge.

CBS this morning ran a piece about the British vote and made a big
point of how many Brits are now saying that they regret their vote and
that they only voted for it as a protest vote thinking that it could
never pass. This is the reality of these "protest votes". It may make
the person feel good but wait until the morning after. This greatly
foreshadows what will happen here in the US in November as all of
these portest votes will only put the GOP in the White House and come
the morning after said protestors will be complaining of got elected.
