Who will be the next POTUS?

It's fascinating how two people can see the same two candidates and come to completely opposite conclusions. I mean completely opposite.

If your man wins, enjoy living under an Administration that is openly hostile to American values.

If your man wins - you can say the same.

Interesting idea for those who don't want to vote third party as while they hate both major party candidates, they hate one more.

Doesn't have to be, he is already a better person than hillary or trump.

If you like one of the major party presidential candidates, then by all means, vote for them.
However, if you're only voting for one of them as the lesser of two evils, then vote third-party.
"But if I do that, the other person will win as I'll have thrown away my vote."
Not if you find somebody such as a family member, a friend, a neighbor, or even your significant other in the same state that feels the same way you do but reversed to cancel the advantage out.
And if you don't know anybody with opposite views, this website/app can pair you up.
The less votes the major parties get, the more they'll get the message.
Besides, it's not like a third-party candidate can win...

If all the people that would vote third party, do vote third party, what choice would they have?

This is one of the most simplistic lines of reasoning there is.

A choice, any choice, can be thought of in positive or negative connotations. Any choice you've ever made in our entire life can be thought of as picking the the thing you "liked" OR as picking the "lesser of (n) evils."

To simply decide to then vote a "third party" because neither of the two main candidates is perfect is silly.

I'd say, if you like Gary Johnson and believe he is your best choice, then vote for him, but understand that may be working against your own actual best interests. One of the "lesser of two evil" candidates may, in fact, be a better choice for your vote since that could prevent a catastrophe if the "greater of two evils" wins.

. . . And saying that neither one of the main candidates is not perfect is the silliest thing in your post. I'd equate them being less than perfect about the same as the bomb going off at Nagasaki made a little boom noise.

You seem to have an opinion.

I'll leave it at that.

On the flip side, this election could be the perfect opportunity to make a 3rd party statement for the future without the slightest chance it will effect the result of this election. If the polls keep crystalising as they are then come november there will be basically zero doubt that Clinton will win.

So if a swathe of centre ground voters who hate Hillary and Republicans who feel betrayed by the nomination of Trump vote for a 3rd party then Hillary will still win but it could be the biggest 3rd party result in living memory. Might have the tiniest chance of shaking things up.

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Better?

There are a large number of people out there in both parties and independents that are disgusted with their choices, some to the point where they might not bother voting.

While low turnout is also a message, voting for a third party is a more powerful one. While the website in the link is pushing people to vote Libertarian, I'm not. In many states there are other third-party choices besides Libertarian.
