You have been nervous since last June? :shock:
Just relax, and think of Halloween!

Errmmm...or maybe not, but think of the Parties instead, right?

I was about to say that we shouldn't get out of hand, this is a comic site and everyone is cool... but things are getting more nasty than ever this year. I wonder why?
Maybe everything on TV has subliminal messages in it that are driving everyone crazy?
Yeah, that's a long-shot, but it could also be a good excuse to avoid watching the freaking News for the next three weeks. :wink:

Honestly my opinion hasn't changed since I was 15. I'm just dealing with people constantly screaming, "You're not voting!? That means you're helping Trump." In my ear. People who don't listen to the fact that I'm not voting because honestly, I dislike both candidates and the one that I actually did like is no longer available. That's why I'm honestly nasty when regarding this subject.

My favorite answer to that would be "Bring it up one more time and I WILL."

To everyone who's not voting, here's an idea:

Write-in Bernie Sanders. At the very least, you'll support a candidate that can help, instead of not supporting anyone.

No.

I don't like him, mainly because his magic plan of free everything, not raising taxes for anyone but the wealthy, and expecting business to not be driven further out or into the ground is out of a children's cartoon with how whimsical it is. I doubt it would work at all and I'm not willing to support someone whose policies and politics I'm so opposite of. At least with Johnson I'll maybe get some states rights moving forward even though he's pretty similar I think.

I'd have preferred Austin Peterson or Rand Paul. Popular vote is a joke anyway. 8)

You've convinced me. I'm either voting Bernie or Stein then. Johnson's still a fool to me and the other two are trash.

As an obvious reminder to everyone: Only four more days until Election Day, get ready to feel the bern! (Get it? Because Bernie Sander is not the Democratic nominee?... no? Okay.....)

Already voted, because early voting. Wrote him in, because seeing Trump on the ballot was thoroughly scary. Like, Terminator-In-Real-Life levels of scary.

I honestly was NOT expecting that. I mean, I expected him to BE there, but seeing it..

Bernie? For real?
Brave of you, honestly, I would buy you a drink if I were there.

But I have to wonder... even if millions of people do it, would the Media even admit it?
Those people are owned, and not even in the cute way...

Thanks, but I don't drink. :wink:

Anyway, I bet they'd admit it if he somehow beat out one of the main candidates in the popular vote. They'd have to. It'd be the first time, wouldn't it?

Bernie Sanders isn't a write in option in the state of Georgia. We actually do have write-in vote laws. I was planning on writing him in, but considering he's not an option, I have very little choice but to write in Jill Stein.

Why would you have to writer her in? She should be on the ballot, one of the 4 options.

Jeez... what kind of a place is Georgia, anyway?

I could spend all day long listing all the [censored] parts of Georgia and spend about 45 seconds listing all the good parts of this place. I've lived here my entire life, can't imagine living anywhere else, but Georgia sucks.

http://www.270towin.com/2016-countdown-clock/ Will this be adequate?

Edit: It looks like by casting my vote, I have broke a three way tie.
