I've tried voting for independents it literally is never possible for the 3rd party to win. Gary Johnson got something like 10% of the vote people were trying to get em to 12% because of a technicality but even with that being a movement we couldn't get him to the 12% so as much as I don't like it I think we are looking at Trump v Biden v DeSantis situation so I'll be voting for Biden more then likely. At least with Biden I'm sure we will continue to support Ukraine which I think is vital to the future.

Itʻs only a matter of time. An independent candidate isnʻt going to win if people keep refusing to vote for one. All I know is Iʻm sick of both the republicans and the democrats. Iʻm not gonna be fear mongered into voting for either of them again. even if my vote is ʻwastedʻ. lol

Out of all the candidates on the field so far, republican, democrat, and independent, I pick Biden.
I guess there is the caveat that they have enough name recognition that I know them.

how anyone could pick Biden is beyond me. I mean at least Trump was a clown and was kinda funny; Biden is just a sad old man that is more or less being taken advantage of at this point itʻs pretty much elder-abuse. Then again I donʻt doubt he did many things to deserve it... But still, its a bad look for the US; even worse than Trump was imo. But hey we all have our own choices to make. I would have thought after the media / political circus these past 8 years that people would have had enough of both parties and would be seriously trying to move towards an independent party, but it doesnʻt sound like the masses are; I guess theyʻve been sufficiently fooled into thinking that voting for someone other than the top two is folly; when if 10% voted 3rd party this round maybe 20% will next time, and 40% after that, and 80% after that. Itʻs possible that a 3rd party candidate could be elected within 3 elections; if people tried for it. or at least thatʻs my theory.

What a ridiculous poll. May this thread sink to the bottom ere my American friends dissolve into cyclic dispute.

I think it is extremely telling when "independent" voters respond to me saying that Biden is the best candidate by talking about how Trump is better.
Yeah, we all know you're gonna vote GOP, you just don't want to admit it.

lmao. humble yourself my friend. you donʻt know as much as you think. I voted for Obama, I voted for Trump. I gave both parties a shot. Now itʻs time for the 3rd. And you should know me better than that by now, I donʻt have much trouble admitting things that people disagree with or are stoked to anger about. and tbh I probably would have voted 3rd party instead of Trump if it wasnʻt for how nasty the left was and how fearmongering the right was; and how both had convinced me that a 3rd party vote was a "waste". no longer.

I have never voted by party. But I feel politics has changed. I sometimes feel an independent vote can be seen as a wasted vote because of the two large parties. I am unsure who I will vote for. I do know I will not vote for one person. I will wait and see who else is on the ballot.

Obama/trump voters pretend they're "reasoned moderates" when they just have a bad case of celebrity worship.

Same here. I voted for Obama because I believed i the "hope and change" promise. And I voted for Trump more or less as a fuck you to the "corrupt elite" who lied to me via Obama. lmao

Know what? Iʻve heard your sentiments echoed many times by famous people; pretty much word for word. What does that say about you my friend? Like I said, humble yourself. Not everyone is the same.
Iʻve told this story before, but in the first year I went to college I had an Anthropology teacher instruct the class to divide themselves to the corners of the classroom based on race (More or less to make a point about how tribalism quickly divides people). The blacks went to one corner, the whites to another, the asians to another, the hispanics to another. Out of about 33 or 34 people I was literally the only one that refused and remained seated. The teacher asked why, and I responded "I donʻt believe in division". After that everyone pretended like nothing had happened and ignored me for the rest of the semester. One of my proudest moments in my life.
I tell this story to try and impart to you that I do things for a different reason than many. I believe in striving for righteousness. So place your preconceived notions elsewhere please. Mahalo aloha nui loa.

gary johnson was a pretty bad candidate.... wasnt paying attn to our current military conflicts... botched a number of softball questions.
i would prefer a third party win... always. the forward party looks nice.
