I'm proud I voted for him.

And I haven't noticed any animosity towards me.

I was actually watching MSNBC the night of the election, so I was very aware of her feelings towards third-party voters as the night dragged on. I never imagined I would encounter so many like-minded individuals in my day-to-day life though. It's a verbal scathing out here :O

Don't be ashamed of voting third party. Both nominations were awful imo. Hillary fucked herself.
Thanks! I'm not ashamed at all! I don't feel the need to hide who I voted for when people ask me. I'm simply disappointed at the reaction I'm receiving from people who I thought were tolerant and open-minded. I consider myself conservative-leaning, and I honestly would have expected such nasty reactions from Trump supporters had he lost. But from the left? Well, this is my first time voting in an election, so there is plenty for me to learn and experience, I suppose

Indianapolis. In a solidly democratic district. I also work in an office full of female attorneys.

Interesting. Looks like they're more mature over in your area :/

and I am shocked at the lashback that I and other third-party voters have experienced the last two days. I don't feel like I live in America right now 😢

so you had a third option? sorry not from usa. but yes, you voted for someone else.

nobody here wanted to explain me the situation.

Yes, we did. At the time that I went to vote, we had four options: Hillary Clinton 🍹, Donald Trump (R), Gary Johnson (Libertarian), and Jill Stein (Green). I heard there were a couple more options, but oddly enough they only showed these four options on my ballot.

yeah ok, usually it all boils down to two options, but like i said, it hasn't to be that way, choosing between 2 evils. i think i heared about jill and she was cool if she was the one. i'll google her. sorry

Lol I didn't intend for that cocktail to show up- I'm not familiar with the code for emojis and all that. But, while I realize that it is exceedingly difficult for the U.S. to become a multi-party nation, I still reserve my right to vote for whichever candidate that I believe best represents my ideals. And if enough of those kinds of voices are heard, perhaps more third party ideas will be incorporated by either of the two governing bodies. Maybe that's a little too idealistic, I don't know.

I think people who voted third party, especially those who voted for Harambe should hold their heads high. You have exercised your right to vote and said, "I do not like either of our two main candidates and I think this current system is shit".

I am proud of you.



Also, I am no mathematician but judging from the end result map wouldn't it make a lot more sense to say that had more of the electoral votes gone to third party then Hillary could have won? Just something to point out to the liberals who are so angry at third party voters...

Thanks for the encouragement 🙂 I just wish fellows on the left would take a moment for introspection, to think about what might have gone wrong on their end. The fact that they are scapegoating the loss on third party votes (to me) speaks volumes as to the failures on Clinton's end to rake in the votes that she should have had. I believe somewhere north of 15 million less liberals/Democrats came out to vote for her than they did for Obama 8 years ago.

I got a few looks but nothing I couldn't handle. Plus I'm informed. I just ask people what have presidents in the past accomplished on avg in 8 years as far as campaign promises? How many complete more than one or two objectives in 8 years? Johnson would have ended the drug war (weed will take care of itself) and made an attempt to downsize the redundancy of government agencies that do the same shit. Why do we need the DEA when we have an FDA? Homeland security and NSA what is the fucking diffrence lol that's dumb shit.

Gary Johnson was my man. But too bad that he was overlooked like most third party candidates.
he didnt' know where Aleppo was. He's a pothead.

The Aleppo crap again. He confessed he blanked and when he realized Syria and the regime change he went into it. I prefer his honest gaffe than Hillary's bombing of that region.

Hahahahaha. He's not grabbing women by the pussy and is outspoken on the war in drugs, which was designed to target minorities, and your worried about Aleppo? You can't be serious.
