Alice, I agree with everything you said except for the part above Trump will
spread his disease as far as he can. Actually I think he will naroowly focus on
the US. He believes all of those groups we have mentioned a million times over
are savages to be conquered and destroyed; sort of like a modern day Andrew
Jackson with native americans, Adolph Hitler with non-arians, etc; you get the
picture. We are on the verge of genocide.

you're calling Trump a neo-liberal?
Trump is a symbol of the disease, if you so will, the disease of willful
ignorance, bigotry, hatred, envy, destructiveness, divisiveness, xenophobia,
oppression, injustice, tyranny, dictatorial abuse of power, selfishness, these
and so much more are the disease. Hillary and her ilk might have a milder
case, but Trump is an infectious boil on the ass of humanity, and he will make
sure the disease and its symptoms infect the world as far as he can spread it.
Just keeping your metaphor as best as I can...

In most states, your individual vote doesn't count because of how the
electoral college is set up. Trump is a symptom of a disease. If you don't
treat the disease, if you just get rid of the symptom, a new and more
terrible symptom will replace it. The disease is Neo Liberalism. Both
parties are run by the same financial institutions and corporations whose
ends are identical. Everything is monetized. The needs of wealthy elites are
met. The needs of everyone else are unimportant. The response to this
disregard of human life is rage and there are always people willing to use
that rage to benefit themselves. Hitler, Trump. If you don't get rid of the
system by organizing against it from the ground up, you may get rid of
Trump, for the moment, but another Trump will appear. So, if your vote can
really matter and defeat him, by all means, vote against him. But if your
vote is going to support a system which is exploiting all of us and causing
misery throughout the rest of the world, send a message by not voting for
someone within the system.
Everyone really needs to research how the electoral college works in the
state where they live. It is for good reason that presidential campaigns
only concentrate on six states.

Because voting for the green party will accomplish nothing at this point.
Sending a message is not good enough in the face of the possibility of that
lunatic narcissist child being in the White House.
And remember, this is sort of what I have said all along about both Nader
and Sanders: if everybody who said, oh, I really like him, but I won't vote
for him, because he doesn't have a chance, had indeed voted for him, we may
be sitting in a very different place now.
But, IMO, this time, that ship has sailed.
Some Bernie supporters have indeed decamped, either to not vote at all or to
the Green or Libertarian candidate. Trump is trying to lure some of them
over to himself, although I've never, ever understood the notion of the
supposed similarities between Trump and Sanders.
So voting for the Green Party is, IMO, a dangerous game at this point.

Why not vote for the Green Party? At least it stands for what you

begin to get

Party.
Actually, many Bernie supporters already have.

Kevin LaRoseI've waffled back and forth several times over the past
few
weeks about whether or not I'll bite the bullet already and vote for
Hillary. I will probably waffle several times more before Election
Day.
Here's what it comes down to for me: Hillary has three months to
show me why
voting for her won't initiate a gag reflex. She's not off to a
bang-up
start. It would be the hardest thing in the world for me to cast a
vote
simply out of fear. But not voting at all isn't an option either.
Hillary
can say all the nice things she wants, but actions speak louder than
words,
and I don't think I'm going to like where she takes the nation as a
whole.
Of course, Trump will take us to even darker places, so there's that
to
consider. What's bugging me right now is I'm afraid the Democrats
are now
going to try to disappear Bernie and the revolution he started down
the
memory hole and pretend it never happened. I'm not sure I can
endorse that
with my vote. I'm going to be a hard sell, Hillary, but give it your
best
shot anyway.
