Usually I vote third party as usually those on the big tickets are so toxic. I am still undecided on who vote for as the third party candidates look as clueless as the big parties. So give me your best elevator pitch on why I should vote for your clown. At this point I am thinking either way we are fucked and not in a fun way. As of right now I see no upside other then at least it isn't the other guy.

whoever.  
1. should vote for Trump because it's customary to have a president serve two terms. He need to do his second term.  
After that he might be the first President to serve more than two. But we will see about that when the time comes.  

FDR served three full terms and was elected to a fourth, but died in office and Truman took over, so Trump would not be the first.  However, the Constitution was amended after that to limit a President to  two terms.  If we had the same rule for Congressional Representatives, the swamp would drain itself.  

But if you’re going to base your vote for President on an elevator pitch from someone on a fuck board, you’re the clueless one.

Honestly, I have read many comments on this board and most hear are clueless political hacks that are so full of hate  
of the other side they can't see the forest because of the trees. I am not going to decide based on this thread on who I vote for. I just want to see if a single person here can form a single logical thought on why they support who they support. I have my doubts.

I just might. I am desperate

should I or anyone take time to respond to a self-proclaimed troll.

But as far as you ripping the left as much as the right, your rage has obviously blinded you. Every post you bash someone or something on the right. It is kinda like you are trying to be a meme of an angry leftist. I am thinking this is am act. It has to be. No one is this one note. But at least your entertaining.

Have you been lurking here for fun prior to your recent "trolling?" That's all just fine with me, BTW, but I'd just like to know. Because the statement is simply not factually correct. Sometimes Laffy posts to agree with me. Is that a crime against nature?

...about Joe Biden that he's "...a man who looks like is in the early stages dementia."

Most of my opinion of you is from your tirades on the GD board. And I do agree those who use violence to protest hurt their cause. Biden's failure to condemn the riots is major factor in my not wanting to vote for him. I am a supporter of politics reform and accountiblity but part of me hopes reforms don't happen until after the riots stop.  

You wrote
 “On one side we have Trump who's idea of leadership is calling people a cow” and  
“on the other side we have a man who looks like is in the early stages dementia”
Your own observation about Trump is negative and is an affirmation. (IS)
Your own observation about Biden is negative and is a speculation. (LOOKS LIKE)
Are you with me here?
I will always vote against an affirmed negative than a speculative one.
Shouldn’t you?

I've followed his posts on TER for years and he definitely leans right. That said, he at least TRIES to keep an open mind and not roll in the gutter or sling mud. Unlike CaCa and others he does NOT set out to torture the truth and flat-out lie just to win an argument.  On the General Board where he usually posts, his ideas and experience are usually helpful.
So, yes, I think he's wrong here and his Biden dementia slur was both wrong and thoughtless. But I'm not about to name-call him for it.
And, no, I'm not telling you or anyone else what to say.
FWIW.

I am opposed to both the Democrat and Republican parties on a national level. I used talking points from both parties. Both parties on my estimation are utterly corrupt. I am not neutral. I just lack anyone worth even remotely supporting. As for proof. Look when they dropped those streamers when he was officially nominated.  

I am most closely aligned with the libertarians. I am not a Republican nor a Democrat. I  am so upset with both sides. I  angry. And I am tired of the lies. Neither side owns their shit. I want to vote for someone. I can't I can only vote against the greater evil. I  am not sure who that is. Normally I avoid the bowels of political stupidity, but today I  bored and angry. Mostly angry.

Then there's nothing here for you. Continue to third party. That's the best I can tell you

...about Trump is that he called someone a cow.  After almost four years in office, that's the worst thing you can say about Trump???  Yet your anger of Biden compelled you to say he has dementia.

might have been incited, in part, by Trump's violence-stoking language? And do you really think that's comparable to Biden mangling a phrase or two? Especially when Trump lapses into incoherence all the time.
Describing them as in any way comparable is massively ignorant.

But I am not supporting Trump. Every time I attacked Biden I attacked Trump. You feel Biden has more empathy then Trump? Maybe. That would not be hard. But where is his empathy to those whose lives have been destroyed by the riots? I don't think either has an ounce of empathy or decency. Cities burns because of those who are likely to vote for him and he says nothing. That is why I turned from Biden.  

A vote for either is a vote for part of the cause of the evil. Hell I  am part of the cause of this evil. The hate both feeds is is the cause of this evil. This whole us vs them is the cause. Both side feed it. Both side have done it for years. Longer then I  been alive. That is the truth. None of us are  innocent who get angry at those who disagree with them. I am as guilty as they come. I have no candidate in this race, yet I sown anger just the same. I am so angry. I  part of the cause of the evil.

I can give a good reason to vote for Trump ... he hasn't started a new war in four years.  (This is the same reason the war caucus wants to get rid of him.)  And he doesn't seem to be trying to start one anywhere either.

He's from Fucking Utah. trump swamp land...But he could vote third party, his vote is useless so it don't mean shit to anyone.

They lie there asses off every time they pander to the small government crowed. I have no party. And I said I was leaning towards voting for Trump. But I do not want to. I am still undecided.  

He lacks any integrity. He is arrogant to the extreme. He would have been in jail in 2016 instead of running for office (but so should have Hilary). He is slimy.  And he is an epic failure in the president's main job unifying the nation. There is no upside to voting Trump. He honestly rinds me of the bullies who used to beat on me on highschool. And while Pelosi rushed the impeachment and failed to make a sold case I not entirely convinced a real case for impeachment could have been made if the house actually did there job and took the time to go through the courts to call witnesses. The man is a nightmare.

And done billions in damages. He has yet to condemn it. I watch his convention he never even once asked for it to stop.

And I admit my state will vote Trump. My vote doesn't count much as I am not in a battle ground state. The last time my state was on play was in the 1970s.

This time with a bunch of blatant grifters and hacks who have been stealing everything in sight.

And it was easy to find the proof. All you needed to do was use Google. If you're going to be this lazy about researching about your views why should ANYONE respect them?
Here's Fox from May. Try cutting and pasting this one.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-condemns-riots-over-george-floyd-death-calls-for-end-to-needless-destruction
And here's The Hill from yesterday. Just click on it.

I pointed out above that he HAS, both at the end of May and as recently as a day ago. The fact that you're too lazy to look for it notwithstanding.
And you have continued to repeat the lie that Biden hasn't spoken forcefully on this issue. Why do you keep doing it? Is it just that you're too lazy to check? Or is it because your default judgement is to believe anything negative about a Democrat? Either way, you've shown your ignorance.
Another article with Biden condemning violent protests:

Seriously though uninformed people like you shouldn’t vote.

you might still be on the fence.  Now you will be smothered in Dem bullshit.  Just remember that 59% of ALL Americans don't think Biden will serve out his term if elected, so its really Trump versus Kamala Harris, who's voting record in the Senate is to the LEFT of Bernie Sanders.  Do you really want a California LIB as Prez?  The Dems have gone to extremes here to regulate every aspect of our lives.  

Now I don't know your financial, business, family situation so I can't get into a full policy thing with you. But in your everyday personal life. do these characteristics matter when deciding on the CEO of our country?
1- Character-Do you tolerate a liar, cheater (I don't mean infidelity, that's for him and his wife),Whiner and the constant complaining and playing the "I'm the victim".NEVER taking responsibility and NEVER accepting that the "Buck Stops Here" mentality. Yes this is trump.
2-Leadership-Do you want someone who can unite and fix this divided nation? Work both sides for the common good? Sorry this isn't trump. Some who can restore out place in the world and not have us as the laughing stock, where other countries actually "Pity" us. As evident by this pandemic we've learned that trump isn't a man of the moment, devoid of any leadership. Not taking the bull by the horn and making decisive decision. He just isn't cut out to handle a crisis, it's not in him. So in that regard, he can't lead.  
If you had a 7yo, would you want trump to be a role model for your child or grandchild.
There's more but you get the ideal. His policies depending on what you want as a future for this country have pretty much sucked.
Take this from the reasonable poster on this board...So vote third party or not...it's up to you
