1. Hillary is a lying dishonest crook, many times over and her liberal policies will destroy the country.

2. Trump is, well, I don't even know how to say it.

3. I was in the not for Hillary and not for Trump camp and voting for Gary Johnson but I have reservations about some of the Libertarian policy positions and he pissed me off the other day when he said that if he were president he would pardon Edward Snowden, who should be shot by a firing squad.

Why should I vote?

Definitely Trump. If he is as big of disaster as people think, then big overhaul changes can happen to our political system. With Hillary, it is the slow decay of America as we know it.

Because it's going down either-way, so you may as well have your say in the poison you'll receive.

Or, vote 3rd Party and hope your vote assists in 3rd party growth & recognition.

Consider voting for Jill Stein, but if the notion makes you laugh just show up to the polls drunk so you don't even remember.
 
Either Trump or Hillary will win. So if you despise both of them and don't want either of them to have a "mandate" then vote 3rd party or for a registered write-in candidate, even if you don't like them much, so you can at least have your displeasure recorded in the popular vote. The lower the winner's popular vote is the less political capital that person will have. So if you need a reason to vote, there ya go.
 
For me it's always been "If you don't vote you can't bitch" so I vote so I can bitch. At the moment I don't have a candidate. It's the longest into an election it's been that way. Pretty disappointing really.

For either of the two you listed I cannot give you a reason, I will not vote for either.
But vote, there are actually elections you can have an impact in, unlike the presidential race. There are SC judges to select, there are spending and constitutional rights to be submitted/protected, vote correctly and the damage might be mitigated.

Trouble is with all of the not Trumps and not Clintons, this may be the biggest voting election in a long time as each side tries their damnedest to stop the other side from winning.

Vote for Gary Johnson. You may not be happy with him, but he doesn't stand a snowball's chance, so that's kind of I'm,aerial.

Your vote off the two-party choices will, along with perhaps tens of millions of others, will tell the major parties we're sick of their ****. Staying home just "lets them get away with it."

I liked the other response better. Either way civilization dies so it is merely a choice of which poison you want to die from. Not much of a choice. So, Trump does all those things you mentioned but we wind up in WWIII.

Probably what I'll wind up doing but as I said in another post, this actually may be the biggest voter turnout in history for both Democrats and Republicans as both sides try their best to stop the other.

You pretty much summed up exactly how I feel about this election.(see my sig) If it's any consolation, America isn't in quite as bad of shape(relative to the rest of the world) as it appears. Our choices suck this time but we'll get through it.

I'm getting drunk before I go to vote and then I'm going to vote for Gary Johnson because... **** it, that's why.

What things did I mention? No there is no Real choice, at least in my opinion, hence I will voice my disgust by voting 3rd Part or skipping over the presidential selections. First time I have seen an election for the WH where there was no lesser evil, it is just a choice between dying by one poison or the other, we are going to get exactly what deserve and there will be no winners, especially not the Nation.
