November 15, 20169 yr More than half of arrested anti-Trump protesters didn't vote in Oregon | KGW.com Serious question here... A few Trumpsters said that a third party vote was a wasted vote when anti-Trumpsters said they wouldn't vote for Hillary, but rather a third party. In your opinion, in regards to this article, what's the difference between a "wasted" third party vote and not voting at all?

In your opinion, in regards to this article, what's the difference between a "wasted" third party vote and not voting at all? I guess the biggest thing I drew out of that was where were the others from and how they did get there. Not ignoring your question. I think everyone should vote, rather than not, even if its for a third party candidate that has no chance.

November 15, 20169 yr I don't follow... At least sixty-nine demonstrators either didn’t turn in a ballot or weren’t registered to vote in the state.

In your opinion, in regards to this article, what's the difference between a "wasted" third party vote and not voting at all? I think if Im allowed to think that the difference is nothing because either way the main candidate isnt getting a vote. All it does is take a vote from the main person, which in the case of this year I think it helped Trump when people voted 3rd party.
November 15, 20169 yr All I got, maybe someone else can help you. You don't know what your opinion is on the difference between a "wasted" vote and not voting is?
November 15, 20169 yr You don't know what your opinion is on the difference between a "wasted" vote and not voting is? Let me take a stab at it. Early on after Trump's nomination Gary Johnson was seen as the best alternative to him be people more prone to vote establishment Republican, even though he had no shot at winning. I said then that a vote for Johnson was a wasted vote, but a vote none the less even if it had no chance of winning. In this case I think final evidence is showing that more on the left may have voted for Johnson rather then Hillary, then those on the right voting for Trump. It was not totally "wasted" in that it is a meter of dissatisfaction but there was never any real shot that Johnson was going to win. Not voting is just wasting the opportunity.

Best I can do one handed in traffic.
November 15, 20169 yr This. Best I can do one handed in traffic. My next question then, so I'm not assuming anything... What was your reasoning for posting the link I asked about?
November 15, 20169 yr Back to topic of thread. Should a taxpayer funded organization be allowed to pay for protesters. Some of the pay is really good according to the article and Craigslist. Is Planned Parenthood affiliate fueling anti-Trump protests? | Fox News
November 16, 20169 yr I would think that if Hillary Clinton or Pres. Obama came out and denounced the protest and called them to end that they would. However, in the past 8 years, never once has Obama addressed the country and asked for protesting to stop, "Black Lives Matter" for example. A group that goes into cities and incites racial tension and doesn't even reprsent that city. I understand that freedom of speech is a right . I do feel that we have had a president that has sat back and let tensions rise. Never calling for calm and understanding but adding fuel to a racial divide. If the media stopped putting this garbage on tv and the president denounced it, this country could get down to business and work on what is really important like getting back to creating jobs and being successful and taking care of the good ole US.
November 16, 20169 yr How many would protest if there were no cameras or $15 a hour? Thats the million dollar question.
