Who Will/Would you vote for? Us and none Us sg users.
I'm not a US citizen, and I would vote for Clinton without hesitation. Other than what I already wrote in this post, I'd like to recommend two recent podcast episodes that may help you be more at peace voting Clinton:
- This American Life: Episode 601 about Hillary Clinton email server, from someone who actually read the 247 pages of interview summaries of the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails. Eye opening stuff.
- Sam Harris podcast: Episode 49 about the Lesser Evil. A long but very interesting discussion that spends most of the time covering Clinton shortcomings in detail.
If you really think Clinton and Trump are "equally bad" and if you're considering to vote third party, you really should listen to both podcasts (and read the articles I linked in other post).

Bibi or Trump?
if you could vote only for these two
i'm honestly afraid what my own answer would be

There's always a lesser evil, and in this case it's the one who is less likely to rush into pressing the nuclear button, only because he had a bad day and someone rubbed him off the wrong way. Guess which one would go first among these two?

I'm not afraid to say I voted Clinton. Stein and Johnson are both whackjobs. Trump is insanely volatile. Clinton, on the other hand, has a long charitable history.
I don't care that she seems emotionless and (as some have described her) sharklike. In the kiddy pool, yeah, I'm cool with guppies. When you get into international water, my money's on the shark.

I am worried the Soros funded voting booths will miscalibrate my votes in PA. I don't want my votes leading to a nuclear exchange with Russia, because Hillary had a fourth federal investigation to place the blame on.

Well, if they're that unreliable, the article should be easy for you to refute. I'm all ears.

Because it is misleadingly worded to mean that Soros himself owns the machine.

Maybe you like Snopes better. George Soros does not have and has never had any ownership stake in Smartmatic and Smartmatic will not be deploying its technology in any U.S. county for the upcoming 2016 U.S. Presidential elections.

Interesting that(atleast currently on sg according to poll) there are more Trump supporters in EU than Clinton supporters. Although far more US citizens lean for Hillary.
Comment has been collapsed.
Far more users in the EU don't follow the elections and have very little knowledge about the candidates. They probably like the sound of "Trrr-ump!" more.

Read through some of the comments. Apparently the Non-US citizens are voting Trump for the laughs or perverse curiosity. Not their country so ... :)

Not really , we can see both sides of the coin , and the hillary one mega propaganda in US media , while in EU you don't have such BIAS and hate toward Trump like almost all of the US media.

In Belgium and Greece, at least, the media is very negative toward Trump.

The media doesn't have to be "unbiased", it has to report the truth and truth just happens to have a massive anti-Trump bias.

Also, she hasn't given money to Saudi Arabia and Qatar, but her foundation has received money from them. Get your right-wing talking points straight.

It's the truth,also her husband send 200.000 immigrants in 1999 to my country.,how could we forget that ..

Well, I don't have sources for this but from what I remember reading most EU citizens are actually very much anti-Trump. But the world isn't just US and EU, and actually if you look at the community stats, the biggest non-American community is Russians, which explains a lot. After that Poland and Germany are EU but Poland is quite a bit more conservative than most of the EU, and then next comes Brazil which I don't honestly know much about but it is still not EU.
...oh and then UK, which I only just remembered isn't EU either anymore :(

- Hillary is an evil alien lizard person who cannot feel human emotions.
- Trump is a lobotomized redneck who will probably get impeached for doing something horrible as soon as he's elected(this is the likely reason so many people are still willing to vote for him).
- The Russian hackers should've just had Putin elected president.
- With luck the candidates will all be too busy arguing with each other AFTER the election ends(because face it, these people are almost as volatile and immature as a commenter in an internet discussion of politics) to actually go through with any of their awful policies.

Not US and would vote for Trump, because I like little experiments, and seeing if he really could do more damage in 4 years than GWB did in 8 would be interesting from this far away.
(The slight disadvantage is that I would have to start learning Russian, because with his vow to not care about NATO would most likely mean my country being ran over by Russia again. But, hey, it wouldn't mean any actual change in our government at least.)

Ruble is still low as hell, and a nice conventional war has always been good for business. But yeah, I would expect more of an informal vassal state status. Our PM for a time was almost actively trying to reach that anyway, but we weren't lucrative enough. (Considering that in the past 900 years all empires that managed to conquer us had failed and either disappeared or got reduced quite a bit, it would be understandable. Plus right now the only thing in us is our EU membership, which we are literally selling to any Asian who can pay 60,000€ for a free EU citizenship.)

Not a US citizen and would vote for Trump, he seems like a solid solution to the immigrant crisis.
(The US folks probably aren't aware, but shit is slowly starting to hit the fan here in the EU and some countries face a rather serious threat from the muslim folks.)

A solid solution to families and individuals fleeing from war-torn zones is "Let them rot"?
Comment has been collapsed.
I really don't know how the situation is in the America, but here in the Europe it's less "suffering people fleeing somewhere safe" and more "islamists with fake passes invading the Europe by force". And hell, nobody would mind them if they just quietly learned to live within our culture and within our laws, but they're forcefully trying to impose their own culture and "laws", and that's something no country should tolerate IMHO ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
I live in Europe, too, and my understanding of the situation is very different. How many of the refugees are "Islamists with fake passes invading Europe by force"? In Germany, at least, the percentage of fake passports was something like 8% -- and probably only a small percentage of that small percentage are religious fanatics. The terrorist attacks were perpetrated by a handful of people, out of the millions that have sought refuge in the continent.

Would you open your home and let strangers live in it without seeing their credentials?
Comment has been collapsed.
What makes you think we're not checking their credentials? Every Syrian refugee I've spoken to avers that immigrating here was a long, grueling process full of red tape.
Comment has been collapsed.
I am asking if you are ok with hosting those people without knowing if they are legit.
Comment has been collapsed.
Define "legit" for me, please. If you mean "legit" as in "legal," I've already said that only a low percentage of passports were fake, and that refugees go through the wringer in order to register here. If you mean "legit" as in "morally upstanding," you never know this about anyone; your favorite neighbor could get up tomorrow and shoot up an opera house.
Comment has been collapsed.
It doesn't matter what I define as legit. Are you ok with housing people who may kill your family in your sleep and steal your stuff?
Comment has been collapsed.
Countries are always housing such people, whether they let in immigrants or not.

Not a US citizen. Trump scares me, he's not a politician just a silly enterteiner, but Clinton and her puppeteers scare me even more.
Sanders would be my answer, but...

Interesting results. I'm surprised at the support for Trump by the Non-US citizens.
Let's see how the poll swings when the US wakes up.
EDIT: Hahaha! Just read the few posts above mine. No wonder so many votes for Trump!

I mean c'mon I bet most of the people on this poll would vote for trump just for the lols... like a 4 year south park episode
there is no other reason to want to vote for him XD

If you want World War 3, then vote Trump. If you want the laughs, vote Gary Johnson. He is one of the dumbest people in the world. Seriously ... go listen to him speak. He's a complete idiot.

I don't know who the third party candidates are, but I couldn't justify to myself voting for either Trump or Clinton, so I'd either vote some third party or not vote at all. Better to live under evil that I was against than under a slightly lesser evil that I lent my vote to and was responsible for.

I vote for President Ratcock!

tl;dr:
Most non-Americans would vote for Trump, which is actually also the better choice for Americans.

TL;DR: most (probably male) (probably young) (possibly trolling) non-Americans (on SteamGifts) would vote for Trump. Another 129 have no conception of the US first-past-the-post system.

I talked politics with a Russian lady today, and she was convinced that Clinton has one foot in the grave and no sliver of identity untouched by corporate interests. Also, that she should answer for Anthony Weiner.
Western media propagate a lot of negative sentiment about Putin, not all of which is warranted, and I imagine Russian media do the same with Clinton.

I just watched this documentary:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/the-choice-2016/
It gives good insight into Hillary and Trump, who they are, their political agendas, and how they got to where they are now.
