I Voted Today.

[Bad Dog]

How many of us have?

[Danilynn]

I voted for Trump and straight Republican down ticket.

[Earl and Mooch]

I wrote in Bernie Sanders, if I had to do it over I would have written in Tim Kaine. Clinton won, but not by the margin I expected.

I voted Green for both governor and U.S. House. The Democrats won both, but again not by the margin I expected.

I wrote myself in for both state senate and state house. The House incumbent ran unopposed. The Senate incumbent lost by about 200 votes to a 32-year-old.

[Cynic Hero '86]

I too wrote in sanders for president.

I voted Trump.  This being Massachusetts, there were no Republicans down ticket, only Democrats.

I may have given my last meaningful vote on an absentee ballot.

No, I do not have a terminal diagnosis. I expect Donald Trump to consolidate dictatorial power for himself and alter American political practices so that Democrats have no chance except as a controlled, marginalized party much like the minor parties in the old East Germany or in the contemporary People's Republic of China.

May the new fascist America die before I do!

For the first time in thirty-two years I voted for a major party candidate simply because I consider Hillary to be pure molten evil and it seems like a good idea to avoid war with Russia.  One Cold War in my life is more than enough.

You underestimate how evil Donald Trump is. To be a purer sociopath one would have to be a serial or mass killer.

Do I need to start watching FoX News Channel to get cues on what to believe and do in the Capitalist Reich of America?

Ew hell no. America's brain seems warped enough thanks to biased media. I think people underestimate its influence. I hear many parrot what the media tells them to think. Programmed robots for power to the wealthy.

I don't pay much attention to the mainstream media.  They only give me insight into the worldview I am supposed to have which is useful in understanding why most people do what they do.

Same here except for Senate. I still hate Little Marco so I voted Libertarian there because the Democrat is a crook.

ETA: I voted in the early voting so it wasn't on Tuesday as I was busy being a poll watcher.

I don't like Rubio either. he just feels slimy.

[Kinser79]

Little Marco has the same problem Ted Cruz has. He looks and acts like a used car salesman. Patrick Murphy is a crook, so I voted for the unknown LP candidate. Mostly so I could vote for Rubio without actually voting for Rubio.

Hard to argue with that.

Make it four, though I didn't vote in Florida.

Make that five, ha ha.

I don't think you're in the "for Trump against Rubio" count, though.

Nope. All Republicans are pretty slimy, although I think that particular adjective fits Mr. Rubio well. There are other adjectives for the others.
