[MENTION=23888]Cheet0V90[/MENTION], the "reality" of such candidacies such as Gary Johnson or Jill Stein is that they are platforms for advertising certain viewpoints instead of being real runs for office. One of two people will be elected president this November and the people who vote for saomeone else other than one of thoe two will simply be avoiding a decision. Frankly, I am not pleased with the two major nominees but I WILL make a decision, rather than avoid one by voting for someone who has no chance of winning. If you prefer to cast a vote for Gary Johnson or Jill Stein or that other guy whose name I cannot recall please do not consider your action to be a "real" vote. Your action will be the expression of a preference, but it will not be a vote in the election in any practical way. The purpose of this election is to decide who will be president and not simply to state your idealistic preference. The time for that was the primaries.
I bid NO Trump!
