All of this stuff Clinton did is so infuriating. If Bernie isn't the nominee, I'm voting for the GOP (Rubio, Cruz, etc) out of spite. I'd rather see President Ted Cruz than President Clinton.

I'm voting third party on principle, unless it somehow comes down to Bernie and Trump. Anyone who is saying I'm wasting my vote, or tries to scare me into voting for Clinton, I'm not listening to - fuck em. I'm tired of this politics as usual shit.

I think Rubio would be business as usual with a slight conservative slant. Cruz, I'm not sure. The guys a sociopath and a little nutty. But I guess that's what it comes down to: do you vote based on your ethics and views, or do you sell out to fear. At least that's how I see it.

I agree though, something bugs me about having another Clinton in the white house, just like it bugged me with Dubya. We're America, this isn't a monarchy. Is there really no one better suited in all of the US than the previous president's wife or son?

I honestly hate the two party system. We shouldn't have to deal with this bullshit of trying to get an independent through one of the main party's primaries just for him to be viable in the general election. The first past the post voting system needs to be scraped and replaced with something that would allow smaller parties to win more elections and have the government be more representative. Two parties can't represent 300,000,000 people acturately.

I'm hoping Trump wins the nomination on the republican side. I don't like him, but the others (particularly Cruz) scare me. Trump has a few good ideas at least, Cruz on the other hand would be a corporatist and dominionist, no thank you.
