Cast Your Vote: Bernie, Hilliary or Trump?

[Daerio]

Typically that age group has a poor voter turn out, happens every now and then. The last general election in the UK for the Liberal Democrats is a decent recent example.

Is it irrelevant that no politicians ever seem to engage that voter group?

Or it is really just those petty millennials fault that they don't vote for pieces of shit that don't intend on doing anything?

No. Really. This election cycle, if anything, has proven that 30 somethings are interested in voting, if there is a politician worth voting for.

First things first so I'm not from US, neither I live there therefore I might have different perspective. Had I been from US I would vote for Trump or I would not vote at all (I don't vote in my country at all, I choose not to pick "lesser evil"). All I can tell you is that choosing a communist is the worst possible choice you can make thus never vote for Bernie who can't even practice what he preaches (heard about avoiding taxes). Living in a post-communist country I think I can quite get the view what communists can do with yours.

You're so incredibly mis-informed, it's actually amazing.

Yeah this is what happened in that example I stated, the Lim Dems in the UK really pushed their young voter demographic, promising free Education as one of their primary focuses.

The 18-30 demographic rallied behind them, then didn't show up to vote again. They did remarkably well, but no where near expected and we got a hung parliment ending with them in a coalition. Incidentally they then went back on a majority of their promises in the coalition government and they've never had worse support, reactionary/joke parties are sometimes beating them now.

Hillary seems to be typical hypocrite, lying politician scumbag representing the usual establishment.
Trump is a madman and I wonder who is backing him (not the money issue ofc), plainly because everything in US is set up, so... But still he seems the most reasonable choice between the three. Commie/lousy politician/madman - always go for madman

strange reasoning

Cant say i wouldnt be against a comunist, though i do think communism has its merits, but all systems do, hell tyrants and dictators can get work done more efficiently than a republic, dont make them better though.

Its funny when you plot these ideals on maps between totalitarianism/libertarianism

Communism is pure totalitarianism, it requires deep influence from the government, if you do vote bernie dont expect more privacy, thats not how that system works.

Some government intervention is useful if its used to target oligarchs (miserly drains on the economy and filthy speculators)
But when they focus more on the little man, it cost more resources and benefits them a hell of a lot less.

Im really not sure i like any of the options TBH, as a non-american i would love to see a non-interventionalist or isolationist america that doesnt meddle so much in world affairs, it only ever benefits those military contractors, and to me hillary represents that to a T

Bernie is a communist, there are merits but it has never worked, i wouldnt expect too much but he might be the only one who wont start a war

Trump is a madman, his ego is ridiculous, so much bark that im actually afraid his ego wouldnt allow him to not bite. i would consider him the one with the most integrity but im not entirely sure if its all that comforting when hes talking about shooting down russian planes and picking fights with china.
I think thats what draws people to him the most though, he seems to believe the shit he says, and thats admirable, especially considering that he has what would have appeared to be unpopular opinions and he seems to have broken that sleep like daze people seemed to be experiencing when it came to free speech

Shillary is just pure evil, 0 integrity neocon warmonger snake. Basically the only reason to vote for her is if you dont actually care about what she says because shes a rampant Liar, which leaves you with a middle aged woman, so i cant help but think that people only vote for her for the second part

Sounds like exactly what happens when politicians get elected and then don't keep their campaign promises. They get ousted.

I don't think that has anything to do with people under 50 not caring about voting.

[bloodmoth13]

kids under 25 who haven't grown out of the "le communism is great omg lmao Che Guevara 10/10" phase. Unsurprising for reddit-champion.com

I just can't wait until hundreds of thousands of votes mysteriously end up tallied to Clinton. She's so crooked that corruption in the potus election is pretty much expected. What's worse it that she'll likely be open about it and yet get away with it.
If only bernie had some balls and actually tried to become the nominee.

Dude shes not crooked! winning 5 coin tosses is mathmatically possible! (3.125%)
And if hillary clinton can win 5 consecutive coin tosses, she can win the election!

Out of curiousity, what do you think is wrong with communism? it would be helpful if you explained why its terrible for those who do not know

That was just for colour, the important point is that the 18-30 demographic barely shifted even with a party catering toward it. It seems, at least for the UK, that they're more or less not bothered about their vote at all.

Which doesn't match this election cycle in the US in the slightest.

Trump. I dont want Hillary to win,

Also Trump stands for all the good things in America, like the eagles and guns and freedom and capitalism!

[Fenixdown]

This poll was horribly done. About half the poll results are from Europe. Last time I checked, they can't actually vote for the president of the United States of America.

Had a few Beers in my local Sydney Pub

Met some Mates

Mentioned Donald Trump the Answer was



Trumpy is a Straight Shooter, he says it like he sees it. It irritates some people
But that is really cool with Aussie Blokes.

Clintons... well Bill "I did not have Sexual Relations with that girl" re Lewinski
Clintons are Pinnochios

Lie lie Lie

This kind of showed how fickle/silly the 18-30 demographic is in our country, the Lib Dems basically sat in office unable to get almost any of their plans through, unable to stop some of the nasty Conservatives plans (which the 18-30 demographic ranted at them for), but did manage to stop a lot of the nastier Tory policies, they effectively used themselves as a human shield to protect the 18-30 demo, and as a result they got massacred in the 2015 election and now there is a full force Tory government brutalizing the 18-30 demo (who are whining about it like it's not their fault).

[Kauko]

If I could, Bernie. But I think a lot of non-Americans would do the same.

[Ghostpanther]

Also the fact Bernie is not going to be a choice anyway. The Party is set up to make sure their fair haired lady is the nominee.

I feel like this is voting for Larry, Curly and Moe. Oh well at least all 3 are better than Obama.

I am very far to the right, and very anti-socialist; and I think that Trump is a joke. So no, it doesn't have everything to do with political leaning; it is just that that guy is cringe-worthy.

[daenerys]

Given that Bernie has no chance, short of Hillary being indited before the convention, a better poll would probably be Trump, Hillary, Other/3rdparty, Stay home.

A lot of this is the media. Trump and Cruz share about 95% of the same political beliefs and would do nearly the same thing in office. The main difference being that Trump got 95% of the media air time to be lambasted. If Cruz got as much air time as Trump, you'd be thinking he was even more of a buffoon than Trump.

[MCMLXXXII]

I voted Trump. Only for the entertainment value. Don't think I support any of his ideas.

[Goondicker]

Easy choice.

None of them.

[darkwarrior42]

Probably Bernie Sanders, but at the end of the day "Anyone but Trump" is the winner.
