At this point I am probably voting Hillary, and trying my best to keep that bit of upchucking hitting my throat when I say that. I will take the lesser of two evils at this point, and with a Republican Congress, the last thing I want to see is Trump in there. If it was Romney or McCain, I'd vote for them over Hillary. But Trump and his rhetoric has gone too far for me, and I look at him as a billionaire reality tv star that is a blowhard that will do jack for me when it comes down to it but will help out his fellow billionaires and millionaires instead.
At this point in my life I tend to be center to center-left with regards to the geo-political spectrum. That means that in US terms I am a filthy commie liberal since the DNC would be center-right.
It's interesting, I have been sliding left for several years. I think learning more about global politics and governmental administration has pushed me a bit further left as I have seen how these policies can, and do work. I was very much a libertarian minded person for some time but after learning more about how it all works I can't roll that way anymore. I was so very wrong when I was younger about those things.
