How many here really cannot vote for either the Republican or Democratic candidate?

    This is just to see how much of a minority I am a part of. No attack is intended on either, or at most equally on both.
    Thank you.

    I did not vote for Trump or Hilary. I don't like Trump or Biden, but I dislike Trump less. Both political parties are broken when it comes to selecting candidates.

    There were four candidates on the ballot last cycle, all four in my opinion were disasters. Trump has been, in spite of the usual lies Dems spout about any Republican president much better than I expected. The sheer level of hyperbolic nonsense the left puts out about Trump is frankly apalling and much of it completely disengenuous into the bargain.

    If I vote at all, it will be for the LP candidate.

    As I have said before, I held my nose voting for Trump last time.

    I am proudly voting for him this time.

    The real problem is that the people who would be most competent to lead the country have no interest in going through the political process. The parties have very limited choices.

    I don't disagree with you, but the problem was compounded with the nomination process itself. There were sixteen republican candidates. The vote was split among the nominees. No one got a majority, but Trump got the plurality. The democratic process this year was similar. Just about any of the other candidates would have been better choices. They simply needed a runoff between the top two or three candidates. I don't belief either Trump or Biden would have ended up with the nominations if they had used a runoff.

    It's not a matter of voting for one or the other- it's a matter of voting against trump and the sewer he has brought with him. Biden was not my preferred candidate, but I would vote for a tree stump before voting for trump. There is no other choice if you care about America.
    He has soiled America profoundly and is monumentally unfit for the job.

    It has been the efforts of liberals to undermine his administration that has soiled America profoundly. They would destroy this country to "save" it.

    I cannot vote because I am not a citizen. If I could vote, I would vote for Biden, although will little enthusiasm.

    I don't think we should limit people from running for office. If someone wants to run, let them run. The parties just need to cull the herd a little faster than they have done for the last two primaries.

    Trump has done more to destroy this country and turn our once strong allied countries against us, while he kissed up to tyrants and fascist butchers like Putin and MBS of Saudi Arabia. His hypocrisy when it comes to China, where both he and his daughter had 99.9% of the merchandise they pedaled bearing their name, was all MADE IN CHINA. A perfect example of the age old GOP philosophy of, Don't do as I do,do as I say.

    There was a person some years back named Sydney Harris who wrote a column called, 'Think on These Things" One column contained the following phrase, "I have come to believe that any one willing to put up with the shear unadulterated garbage one must put up with to become president of this country probably shouldn't be allowed within a mile of the job." Note since I first read this on junior high, think it was the quote may no longer be exact, but it should be close enough.

    Well at least he's honest, the difference between voting for Biden and voting for a stump is not significant, save the stump is less likely to utter something egregiously stupid within the next hour.

    Meanwhile Biden junior is being paid a billion a year to do little or nothing by the Chinese.

    it may be Ms. I was never sure, Sydney being one of those unisex names that are dropped on women nearly as often as men.
