[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In this particular election, it might make sense.

If you are a conservative and you and your friends do not turn out, it will send a pretty clear message that Trump's position on immigrants, Muslims, and people of color -- i.e. a return to Nativism --is a fatally flawed direction for the GOP.

If you are a Dem, not voting will be very hard to interpret.  It might mean you wanted a more radical left agenda.  Or it may mean that you thought Hillary was unlikable or not trustworthy.  So you are saying "don't bring us another Hillary" but no one will know what kind of policy direction you actually want.[/quote]
That's exactly where I am. I'm Republican, and if we had even a halfway decent candidate, I'd obviously vote for him over HRC, who I think is just terrible. But I just cannot see myself pulling the lever for Trump, and if the Dems had a halfway decent candidate, I'd vote for her. (I've voted D before, albeit rarely). But I just can't see myself voting for HRC, either. So, I'm stuck - as are many, many, many people who share this view - and am considering third-party for the first time in my life.[/quote]
