A Presidential Connumdrum

I find it difficult to support either Candidate for President from the two major parties (now that Hillary is claiming victory). I am actively looking for an alternative (other than not voting at all which is a non answer). Really don't care if that person "has no chance of winning". That's not the point. The point is to voice an objection to the two offered by the major parties by casting a vote for someone else.

Perhaps, if were are all as annoyed with the current situation as it seems, we could amass our support for one of the minor party's candidate and show the majors how truly annoyed we are.

Any nominations?

P.S. If you really do support either Donald or Hillary, this post is not for you to respond.

    Just write in my name. I'm ready to make something something great. And...we can't discuss this. Because, fitness.

    I thought this was;

    "Chit-Chat

    Shoot the breeze & chat with members".

    Unless we'd all rather discuss the sexiest part of the above poster ;-)

    Looking for an alternative. Not wanting to hear why I'm wrong in wanting someone else.

    It actually sounds like you fit in just right with one side then. I won't say which one.

    Anyone that pushes for a 5 day workout week has my vote. I vote @Cindy4FunFit if fitness is her platform.

    I have voted for the Libertarian or Constitutional party candidate in most of the presidential elections since 1992.

    I could get behind a true libertarian if their tax plans were more realistic and the foreign policy platform wasn't this:

    Doesn't matter who you write in. It's the same as not voting. This is a two party system

    Dear Posters,

    I wanted to offer a brief explanation for the locking of this thread. This discussion is welcome to continue in groups.

    The forum guidelines include this item:

    15. Divisive Topics Are Better Suited For Groups, Not the Main Forums

    Divisive topics and posts, particularly those that seek input from or are relevant only to a select group of users, are better placed within an appropriate Group rather than the Main Forums. For example, topics relevant to only one religion should not be placed on the main forums but rather within a group related to that religion.


    If you would like to review the forum guidelines, please visit the following link:

    At our discretion, this locked thread may be deleted entirely in the near future.

    With respect,
