Screw it. There's no hope for Liberty until something changes. It may not be this cycle but it is time to stop settling for shit candidates.

When, if ever, is it appropriate to vote your conscience? Based on all the handwringing over if Trump wins Oklahoma by 55% rather than 65% I can only assume most on here think you should always fall in line behind the Republican.
Anytime except when the country is teetering and Hillary is the result.
Thats been the only thing that's kept me on the fence. In the end I just feel like a huge hypocrite after years of claiming libertarian ideals and arguing with the lesser of two evils mentality.
I'm rooting for Trump because I think it's awesome that everyone I politically loathe hates him, but I think the long game for me is a decisyruction of the duopoly.
I'm very concerned about what Hillary mans to the SC and the 2nd A - which is one of my most passionate issues. Sadly however, I think the republic is completely doomed long term unless an alternative choice becomes viable soon.
Rock and hard place, just going to be honest with myself and vote for who I wish would win. Trump has a chance to convince me with dominating debate performances and a very smart 90 day plan, but more and more I'm regretting going against my personal convictions just to beat Hillary.
And last time it would have been okay if Obama weren't the Democratic candidate, or Kerry before him. Im sure whoever the candidate after Hillary is will be another portent of doom, and it is best to vote for the Republican, no matter how objectionable, rather than a candidate I actually like and think would do a good job.
I don't see that anybody is going to say YOU SUCK for doing what you want with your vote. Do as you will. We all see where you're coming from. We will all live with the consequences of the decisions we make.
Makes for interesting discussion. That's why we're here.
It doesn't matter anyway. This election is going to be rigged for Hillary and the Democrats the same way the primaries were.
I've liked Gary Johnson for a long time, but he's for open borders.
If anyone truly wants a libertarian type of government and society (or even 'limited government'), we have to stop importing mass amounts of people from low-skilled countries who use far more government services than Americans. (and who have no cultural concept of 'limited government')
