[HagridOfTheDeep]

An imbecile.

[This account no longer in use.]

Somebody who gets completely wasted every time they vote.

[Mehmentum]

So someone who voted for the Socialist Party in 2000, the Green Party in 2004, the Constitution party in 2008, voted for a libertarian in the primaries in 2012 but for some reason decided not to vote in 2012 despite there being both a Green, Constitution, and Libertarian candidate running?

Alright, so this guy is obviously some sort of political hipster.  He doesn't vote for third parties because of political convictions, he just wants to be 'edgy' and 'against the system'.

In 2000, he didn't vote for Nader because he'd actually become too popular and mainstream.  So whenever his friends talked about voting for Nader, he could one up them by saying he was voting for an even more obscure candidate.  He abstained in 2012 because he thought that would be even edgier than voting for a third party.

[Sumner 1868]

Some kind of antiwar libertarian socialist. Moved to a state with no left-wing third parties before 2008 so voted Baldwin.

[Broken System]

This voter actually represents most of the people who supported Ron Paul in 2012. They traveled over to Bernie Sanders for 2016. These young voters grew up without a father figure in their lives. The lack of a father figure means they did not have a strong moral figure to teach them right from wrong. They always wished they had a father figure though. Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders fill in this void for them, especially with their old appearances. These voters wished they had a cool father who told them what they wanted to hear. These kinds of voters don't have morals, so they do many immoral, and often illegal things behind closed doors. Ron Paul is the cool father who says "yeah man, you can do whatever you want because nobody knows." And so, they flocked over to daddy. But in 2016, daddy left and it left a void in their hearts. They were determined to get a new daddy. None of the existing candidates pushed doing whatever the heck you want as much as Ron Paul. But then, there became a new figure in the race. Someone who promised them that they could get whatever they wanted for free without working. It will simply be handed to them. They loved this father figure even more, because he was a father who spoiled them with endless gifts. So in the end, these voters are stronger than ever because they love their new daddy.

And this isn't even a joke. This is literally my view of these voters, and I will strongly stick with it.

[Mike Thick]

A hippie socialist who has a religious awakening and becomes a born-again Christian in 2007. Then, it "goes away" in 2015 and he returns to his old ways.

I didn't support Ron Paul in 2012, but I do support Sanders now. I personally think that this voter is a hipster who actually won't vote for Sanders because he's too mainstream now.

Someone like Fletcher Dragge.

[Figueira]

Someone who started out as a left-wing anti-government type, hated Bush, but then hated Obama because he didn't think Obama was any better than Bush. Became a right-wing anti-government type for a while, but doesn't like Trump for whatever reason, thinks Rand Paul is a sell-out, so the only anti-establishment option is Bernie Sanders. I know people like this.
