Personally looking at the laundry list of what she'd like to do, I find a lot that I can agree with. So if you're going to make a protest vote, I can't complain.
Voting for a third party candidate isn't really a protest vote for me though. I just see it as voting the way that people should be expected to vote: voting for who I would like to see in office whether she stands a chance or not.
But since you're considering a write-in candidate as well, I have to ask what matter to you? What do you see as the real problems in America today? And how do you think that given the realities of our system we can go about fixing them?
The biggest problem I see in our country today is the fact that as a people, we Americans are selfish, self-indulgent, apathetic, and typically concerned with all the wrong things (ask a typical American college student who the Secretary of state is and 9 out of 10 times they won't be able to tell you. Now ask them to name all of the Kardashians).
Thats just for starters. What would I like to see? A candidate that tells us the truth, especially about ourselves. I would like to see somebody focus the spotlight on some of the things going on in the world that we could actually fix. For example: we don't need to keep supporting child slavery in the Congo, the batteries in our cell phones don't need to be dependent on Cobalt mining. We have better options now, we're just not using them.
In a little while I'm going to ride my bicycle to the store. It's only about a mile away, but I'll see anywhere from 50 to 100 cars on my way there, and I can guarantee that if I bother to look inside those cars almost all of them will only be carrying one person. Something like 10 or 20% of those vehicles will have much more horsepower than the driver will ever need or ever use, which means quite a bit of the pollution they're generating (emissions and noise) will be completely unnecessary, and a lot of the money they're shoveling out to the oil companies in order to finance all the destruction and oppression they're perpetrating in the world could be better spent somewhere else (pretty much anywhere else).
I would love to see somebody put measures in place to make that kind of behavior less attractive and less convenient, whether its through enticement or enforcement.
And that goes for pretty much every aspect of our consumer economy.
I would love to see a candidate that could somehow get young people excited and optimistic about the future again by letting them know that they may actually still have one.
I know all that's pretty vague, and telling people the truth about themselves has never been a very successful political strategy (you can well get yourself nailed to a tree), but that's what we need, and that's what I'd like to see.
I would also like superpowers and a flying pony.
In my opinion our country, and our society needs a complete overhaul. I know That's not something we're going to be able to accomplish in 4 years, but since you're asking I would settle for a candidate who gives us some clue that she's actually aware of all that.
