What happens when you get an African-American Trump supporter, the daughter of Indian migrants, a former card-carrying Republican and a Clinton enthusiast together for a barbeque?
Lateline throws a few snags on the barbie with a group of Americans living in Australia to find out how they plan to vote in the upcoming presidential election between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Cardwell Lynch, Trump supporter from southern California
Cardwell Lynch spent 12 years working for the US government with a security clearance. He says that has left him bitter about the prospect of a Clinton presidency.
"The email scandal really crystalised for me that there are people protecting [Mrs Clinton] at the highest levels, that means the White House, FBI, and knowing that I had to take training every year for hours on how to handle classified material, everything she said from the beginning was a lie, everything that's come out has been a lie," he said.
Mr Lynch says he is voting for Mr Trump because he wants to shake up the system.
"There's a sea change, not just in America but also across the globe that a lot of people are in denial about," he said.
"You know when someone goes on the TV and says 'I've created 50 million jobs' and [the viewer's] like, 'I'm in Canton, Ohio and everybody I know is unemployed' … That's why Trump is still around."
Mr Lynch says he voted for Barack Obama at the last election and remembers feeling elated when he won, but that soon changed.
"I was like 'wow, Bush got a black guy elected'. I called my parents and said: 'Did this just happen? How did this happen in your lifetime?'," he said.
"Then I was like 'holy cow'. But it wasn't too long before I was like, 'oh man'. I saw right through him … we had the GFC and he came in and nobody went to jail."
Mr Lynch says the Democrats have tried to pander to African-American voters and they cannot keep counting on that working.
Ritu Clementi, Clinton supporter from Charlotte, North Carolina
Ritu Clementi was a Bernie Sanders supporter, but now that he is out of the race she is pro-Hillary Clinton.
"I actually believe Hillary is the most qualified and I'd hire her for a job in a second, but in terms of her character I don't love her," she said.
Ms Clementi is the daughter of Indian migrants and says racism in America has become overt since 9/11 and is now even worse in the era of Mr Trump.
"Before 9/11 people would look at me and say 'are you black or are you white?' Cause they didn't know what I was. And I would go 'Indian', and they would go 'well I'm part Cherokee myself'.
"Post-9/11 there was much more of a shift in terms of, 'oh you're not American'. And then when I supported Kerry who wasn't a great choice, versus George W Bush, it was: 'You're really not American. You're un-American and you're going to bring this country down.'
"I feel like that's the sentiment for immigrants that is still there and it's gotten even worse with Trump.
Caitlin Wagner, former Republican voting for Clinton
Caitlin Wagner was a registered Republican voter, but this election she will be the "black sheep" in her conservative Republican family because she plans to support Mrs Clinton.
Ms Wagner is yet to tell her even more conservative grandparents about her voting intentions.
Ms Wagner says Mr Trump's Make America Great Again campaign has really appealed to white, working-class voters and people who are anti-establishment.
But she thinks Mrs Clinton has more substance.
"She might be establishment but that makes her qualified legitimately not only nationally but internationally and I think that foreign policy is an extremely underrated issue for American voters," she said.
Jim Coy, Clinton supporter from the upper Midwest
Jim Coy describes himself as an enthusiastic supporter of Mrs Clinton who appreciated the new focus that Bernie Sanders brought to the Democratic campaign.
"I was thrilled that Bernie was in the race. I think he pushed the debate to the Left and brought up some important issues but I've always been supporting Hillary," he said.
He is confident Mrs Clinton will be the next president of the United States.
"There's day and night difference," he said.
"You can look at a list of Hillary's accomplishments over the last 30 years and then take a look at what Donald Trump has done in public service over the last 30 years and it's a very short list."
