Hey everybody, Strange here.

As you might know, the election for the next president of the United States of America is coming up fast. It's rather scary. We have two main candidates, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, representing the Republican Party and Democratic Party respectively. Since we live in a high speed internet age, your social media must be full of political posts obnoxiously announcing who they are voting for. I thought I might add onto this trend. One could argue about whether this belongs in the Lounge or in the Serious Discussion forum, however there is one small twist.

NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR YOUR OPINION

Ahem. I mean, in that forum specifically, there are bound to be blocks of texts explaining why so-and-so is voting for this candidate or that one. I don't want that. To allow coexistence, we should be able to say who we believe should carry the torch and that's that. No degrading the other candidate, no personal attacks on differing opinion, just an honest poll.

Vote on who you want to win then click out of this tab. No posts in this thread will be longer than one word, and that one word must be either "Trump", "Clinton", or "Other". This is to limit the possibility of hostility and volatile discussion. This thread should be casual and loving. Okay? Cool.

Hope you all have a good day and don't forget to vote.

Johnson.
S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse
a persona che mai tornasse al mondo,
questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.
Ma per ciò che giammai di questo fondo
non tornò vivo alcun, s'i' odo il vero,
senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo.

Inferno, Canto 27, l 61-66.

I honestly don't know why people hate Hilary so vehemently. she's probably overqualified for the job... and next to TRUMP???? I don't see a comparison.
Is she my first choice? No. Should she be seen as an evil equal to that of Donald Trump? Hell, no.

Due to the magic of math, every time someone doesn't vote, Clinton gets a vote automatically. No vote is one less vote she need to fight Trump for, and since she is in the lease in polls, that means Trump gets no closer to catching up.
