This is the most important election of my life because I'm autistic

Sadly I can not vote in the US election as I am not an american, to me I would vote for Mrs Clinton. She is the logical person to vote for, whatever her faults she would be far better than Trump.

You mean like when President Clinton got impeached?

this is probably the scariest election season in a while.

It probably has the lowest level of Discourse in history!

and the most ad hominems.

Compare the 1960 Nixon/Kennedy Debates with the 2016 Debates (when the 2016 Debates arise).

You'll see what I mean.

these are "interesting times."

I am on Hillary Clinton's Disability Employment Task Force- I, like Alex, know that Hillary has a strong policy agenda for autism that includes early diagnosis, early intervention, education agenda, transition agenda, social and living, transportation, employment and over all quality of life policy.

16% of registered voters have a disability yet there is a 6% gap in those registered to vote and those who vote!
It is crucial that we get out the vote for Hillary and that Hillary win this election.
Please let's do all you can to encourage 18 yr olds with disabilities and with out to register to vote and get to the polls on Nov 8th and make their voice heard! Now more than ever! The future of America depends on it!

If I were in the US, I'd vote Trump. I prefer isolated liberal nationalism and gunz than globalist social liberalism.

This is from someone that's disabled from autism too.

Sarcasm?

I'm also a Gary Johnson supporter. He doesn't speak for my views in all respects, but overall I find the Libertarian platform best aligns with my own values. In the final analysis, it's more important for me to fight for the freedom of all individuals in society than to vote for someone who promises to cater to a specific group of voters (even if I happen to be part of that group that stands to benefit). I also favor a federal government that is only as large as necessary to accomplish its Constitutional role.

While I can appreciate that Hillary does seem like the best choice for autistics and people with various disabilities, I've never been a single issue voter. I like some of what Trump says, but given his bombastic, off-the-cuff, bluster I just don't see how he's qualified to lead a nation.

I have to wonder if Mrs Clinton has any real interest in the subject other then a superficial kind of acknowledgement/lip service. When I look at her I see the empty shell of a person, a void where real beliefs and convictions should be. All jettisoned to make room for political apparatus. But then again that is most professional politicians. Still, it's less scary the the alternative.

Everyone should make sure to register to vote: https://t.co/sZ5sO4V4Q1

I'm a huge supporter of disability rights and opportunity. However, both major candidates act as if the country is flush with money - when in fact we are drowning in debt. It's not a matter of taxing the rich more, but in cutting stuff across the board, including military and fighting less stupid wars.

So in an ideal world, we'd have the money for more services for everyone, but that's not the world we live in. So, I'm conflicted about advocating more money for anything.

My choice is Gary Johnson, but I also realize that the US is not likely to suddenly realize what I said above and act rationally. So, I guess, why not allocate money over here until things really blow up?

I personally Like neither of them. Though when that happens you have to pick the best of the worst.
Here is the orders from best-worst

Hillary Clinton
