This is like someone in Germany back in 1932 asking "Will Hitler make an improvement in Germany ?" Yikes ! Sheesh almighty !
Nothing that you need to know in order to make this decision, no. This is not complicated or difficult in any way.I can't learn anything else about the candidates for the next four months?
This sentiment doesn't fit. Ignorance is not your problem.I refuse to be willfully ignorant.
Which you have no ability to determine one way or the other! You may as well flip a coin.And what a foolish comment you've made. Neglecting to vote is no favor. The best "favor" I could do for the whole country is to vote for the better candidate.
We don't know that any of the SCJ's will die within the next 4 years, and the liberal SCJ's would hold out on retirement as long as a conservative president is in office.
Wouldn't they?
Nothing that you need to know in order to make this decision, no. This is not complicated or difficult in any way.
I'm not kidding! If you have no more discernment than it takes to make this decision then you have no business participating in anything as important as a presidential election. Please stay home!

You can't fix stupid.
No matter who wins, we lose.
Some people are less wise than others - many by a lot!If the choice is as clear as you say, then why do so many people disagree?
It isn't about a time deadline. This question demonstrates my point nicely.What's the cutoff point? 6 months before the general election? 10 months? Obviously 4 months is too late, according to you.
Your decision should have been made the moment the primary was effectively over.So at what point in time must I have made up my mind, in order for you think that I ought to vote?
Yes, it would be wrong for you to want that.You obviously know more than I do about the candidates, for your choice to be so clear.
Why can't you share that knowledge with me, so that I might make an equally informed choice?
Is it wrong for me to want that?
I AM NOT JOKING. Please just sit this one out. Sit back and watch it on T.V. or just go find something with which to destract yourself while the adults in the room make the important decisions.
Some people are less wise than others - many by a lot!
Should I vote for Trump?
It's "distract," by the way.
It has been stated numerous times on TOL that individuals should vote their conscience and "voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil". Your conscience needs to guide you .... what everyone else thinks is nothing more than static noise.

It has also been stated numerous times on TOL that voting for a third party nobody is a wasted vote, and actually helps the worser of the two evils. So if you are a conservative and you vote for some pinhead outsider, you are only helping Hillary.
Voting based on conscience and voting based on what others tell you, are not mutually exclusive.
Surely everyone, except those that personally know the candidates, will vote based on how others have portrayed the candidates.
So I am interested in what others think, and how they came to those conclusions.
Clete says I should not vote. I suspect he would prefer that a vote for a particular candidate, rather than not vote at all. I'd like to know which candidate that is, and why.
He does not wish to tell me.
The thing is, his unwillingness to explain his position is not at all uncommon.
Most people I talk to refuse to explain why I should vote for a particular candidate.
And the thing is, I genuinely want to know.
Don't get me wrong. I will still vote according to my conscience, but I do need information in order to make that choice.
I don't know who to vote for.
What's the single most significant improvement Donald Trump (if elected) would make to this country?
How/when will he accomplish it?
And... what makes that particular change so important?
You should stay home! Don't even register!Should I vote for Trump?
I post too often and too much to care that much about typos. I use Gramerly automatic spell checking software which catches 99% of whatever typos exist. If it misses it, I don't care.It's "distract," by the way.
It has also been stated numerous times on TOL that voting for a third party nobody is a wasted vote, and actually helps the worser of the two evils. So if you are a conservative and you vote for some pinhead outsider, you are only helping Hillary. That is an absolute metaphysical FACT. So tell THAT to your "conscience".
Yes, it is very true. The others here won't admit it because if they did they would have to admit to their hypocrisy.This is true.
And if everyone who ought to vote has already made up his mind, then why are the candidates still campaigning?
You should stay home! Don't even register!
