    In regular times, maybe. The DNC abandoned the idea of incorporating third party policies ages ago.

    I wish voting for this ticket could keep my conscious clean but that’s just not how reality works.

      I support and totally respect your opinion on that.

      But for me, variations of people/parties saying, “Oh, we need change, but not THIS election” or “NOW isn’t the time, it’s too important to try now…” etc, has been said for the last 50 years.

      50 years!

      So no, I’m done with the whole, “Not this time, next time tho!” line of thinking. I’m voting for who I want to vote for. Right now. And it feels awesome.

        I’m with you but this late into the cycle for a general election really isn’t the time for it. The real work starts local then pushes up. Getting a mayor, state reps, etc paves the way for more desirable senators and eventually, a president.

        I stopped voting third party for big ticket elections in 2016. My state has had margins within 10k and we’ve ended up with my worst nightmares as reps.

          I’m with you bout This late into the cycle for a general election really isn’t the time for it.

          Thanks. But I’m still voting for her. And I am especially happy with her VP pick.

          But yeah, if you feel like you can’t vote for her in good conscience, then for sure vote for who works best for you. I totally support and respect that decision.
