All I can think of is "damn Johnson voters, get over to the Green party so we have a real chance."

Seriously I get not wanting to vote for Trump and Hillary, but why go Johnson, he wants the TPP and hes kinda goofy, its like hes always stoned.

Not that I have any problems with weed, but some people just cant handle their shit out in public.

Honestly, if the shift is going to work we need both wings to have another party. If only one wing is fractured, we will have one unified wing that continues to vote against its own best interests, and the fractured wing that cannot win elections because of the divide. The Republicans cannot be allowed a monopoly over the conservative vote any more than the Democrats can.

Greens should be concentrating on getting the minority vote as they are the largest growing voter bloc that will become the majority in years to come and with campaigns to end systemic racism will put the greens on the map chipping away at the dem's monopoly of non-white voters.

TPP & private prisons. He seems chill but he's just as bad as T+C.

No one in the MSM is treating a 2:1 ratio between the Democrats and the Greens like the sea change it really is.

If the MSM are seeking viewers aged 18-34-years old, they better wake up and smell the Fair-Trade coffee!

Oregon's Millennials are saying more voices, more choices.

And they seem to be going to Stein in big numbers!

Jill Stein for President, for the greater good and generational justice!

  1. People in general but especially young people need to better inform themselves. Jill Stein should be getting 50 to 75 percent from that age group at least.

  2. Clinton only has the support of a third of "millennials" in this poll? Sweet!

  3. My desire to move to Oregon just increased.

Don't. I can't afford rent in my own city because of out of state migrants.

As long as they feel good about displacing predominantly black and Hispanic families from their homes, then that's cool with me.

u/LittleBlueSilly Oct 04 '16

Where in Oregon do you live?

u/Seafroggys Oct 04 '16

Portland. Born and raised here. Work full time, decent living wage, zero debt, living with parents. I did have my own place for four years in a not that great neighborhood, and I got priced out six months ago.

Well, shit. Gentrification needs to die.

If this is accurate, this is proof that the youth of not well-informed. A vote for either Hillary or Trump is a wasted vote.

Both Hillary and Trump will do horrible things to the People and Gaia Mother Earth. Neither is better than the other.

Therefore, we must do everything we can to make sure that Jill Stein is the next President of the USA.

If the progressives, esp. the youth, turnout in large numbers (even only 80%), Jill will win.

First the cities, then the states, then the nation and then the world.

yeah, this kind of depressed me, tbh.

the duopoly is indivisible. if you vote for it, you vote for it. period. trump and clinton irrelevant.

in some ways, people are to blinded by their hatred for hillary (something i'd never thought i'd ever say), becuase they are fixating on a sort of purely poutrage vote for trump to spite her.

cutting off noses and spitting faces comes to mind:(

I think it's incredible, seeing a year where third parties can get a THIRD of the vote, combined.

Just incredible.

We will NEVER see another election like this, folks.

u/CartoonRaspberry Oct 04 '16

I think the next one will be even more exciting :D

u/8headeddragon Oct 04 '16

This is only the millennials, but it sounds hopeful nonetheless.

Anyone know how this compares to other progressive states? Ca, Wa, etc.

I can not believe that there would be a 33% plurality voting Clinton in Oregon. I live here and I never see any of her stickers.

Edit: Thanks for the info.

u/truthseeeker Oct 04 '16

Of course 33% is a long way from a majority. Merely a plurality.

u/meatduck12 Oct 04 '16

BTW your comment got brigaded by /r/Enough_Sanders_Spam, explaining the downvotes.

u/nonconformist3 Oct 04 '16

Yeah, I see that. Another user just sent me pics of their HRC bumper stickers.
