No way I’m voting for Hillary Clinton. What, it’d effectively be George W. Bush’s fifth term?
And I won’t be voting for Rand Paul or any other Republican clown.
Guess I’ll also sit out the 2016 election.
I’d vote for Monica Lewinsky, though.

Ha! You could vote for a third party candidate. I have done that for smaller races where both party candidates disgusted me. Not a lot of choices for an independent. I like Warren, but she’s not running. Thank goodness for DVRs and ad block; it’s going to be a long 18 months.
It’s nothing that hasn’d been said before but I’ll say it again: why oh why do American presidential races last so long? Because they can, I guess.
I do live in a swing state so perhaps I’ll make the effort. But I hate the idea of voting for someone who is merely slightly less evil. How does that actually help the world?
It doesn’t. But party building/takeover takes generations and/or lots of money.
We shall all live and die by increments because that’s how things work apparently.
If you actually are independent and you don’t have a lean one way or the other, you’re a unicorn in American politics.
Apparently according to Pew, once you get out of every single black subgroup, white atheists lean the most strongly Democratic. Everyone pretty much says they’re independent, but the people who are most likely to say they are and have no party lean are Hispanics that live in rural areas (24%) and the Hispanic foreign born (23%) and Hispanic older millennials (22%) If you’re in a swing state with a lot of Millennials and you ever listen/watch any Latin media, prepare for the ad deluge.
Clinton’s time was 8 years ago. I would have been happy to vote for her then. But the press got a hard-on for Obama and protected him long enough to sew up the nomination.
I think she would have been a better president than Obama (who I could not vote for in good conscience) but it’s too late now.
So far, I’m sitting this one out (not to mention the hassles of absentee voting….)
I didn’t believe it at the time. but now I think eight years ago that she would’ve made a better president than Obama. And if she concentrated on something ACA-like it would’ve been superior.
I agree that her time has passed, and I don’t think she’d be any better than Obama now.
It’s also likely that the next president — especially if he or she serves two terms — will preside over another large financial crisis and recession or worse.
