I may not vote this time.

[Faun]

Hey Nutz, don't you realize that by not voting as a Republican, you are empowering the far-left Democrat politicians such as Biden?. How do you think an election would turn out if all us Republicans stayed home, not voting. Get your ass out there and help us rid the government of all DEMONRATS.

Why bother? We're just gonna steal it from you again.

 

[BackAgain]

You have that backwards. By voting you insure bad candidates get elected.

No. I have it right and in the correct order. By not voting, you are making it easier for the worse candidate to prevail. A very stupid move.

 

[Paleman]

And by not voting as a Democrat, he's also empowering Republican politicians? Same logic, right?

Read it again, he proclaims to be a Republican.

What's the difference?

It's hard for me to understand how anyone who is actually paying any attention to what's going on, to not see the difference between the two major parties. Do you think we should abolish the filibuster? How about packing the Supreme Court with more progressive liberal justices? Are you okay with the war on fossil fuels? You like what's going on down on our southern border? Were you happy with how we left Afghanistan? Are you glad we re-entered the Paris Accords? Biden is trying to renew the deal with Iran, do you think that is a wise thing to do? What about the ridiculous spending, you do realize that the democrats want to spend way more than the repubs do, right? Maybe you think that's okay in inflationary times? And you don't see the difference?

 

[BackAgain]

Lesser-of-two-evils is a scam, concocted by the major parties to scare you into voting for them no matter how fucking bad their candidates are.

But every year, a critical mass of voters fall for it. And every year, our "choices" gets worse. Fuck you very much.

Bullshit. I don’t have any control over who the Democraps nominate. (I do believe in closed primaries.). But, as a registered Republican, I do get a say in who my Party nominates. The math is now obvious:

Work harder at making sure your Party’s standard bearer isn’t an evil.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

I'm an independent moderate conservative; no party affiliation but I mostly vote Republican.

So what would you support in a candidate locked into the Socialist Party

 

[dblack]

By not voting, you are making it easier for the worse candidate to prevail.

This makes no logical sense. You're giving up your right to have your right to influence the results - you're not influencing the decision in any way.

 

[Paleman]

I'll vote this fall, maybe for the last time. We'll see.

Goo

I'll vote this fall, maybe for the last time. We'll see.

Good to know. Hope you do the right (smart) thing.

 

[dblack]

Read it again, he proclaims to be a Republican.

That's not what I read. He said he was in independent who usually votes Republican. Clearly, he's also found good reason to not vote Republican. His vote has to be earned.

 

[dblack]

Work harder at making sure your Party’s standard bearer isn’t an evil.

And if you fail, if you're party nominates a shitstain - reward them by giving them your vote anyway!

Talk about throwing your vote away.

 

[Paleman]

This makes no logical sense. You're giving up your right to have your right to influence the results - you're not influencing the decision in any way.

I will try to explain this for the benefit of all the imbeciles out there. It is election time in the middle of nowhere. 2 candidates, one Repub and one Dem and only 2 voters, one for the Repub and one for the Dem. If they both vote their party it is a tie, but if the Repub stays home he hands the victory to the Dem. EVERY GD vote counts.

There are also differences between the bloods and the crips. If I cared to research them, it's likely that one of these gangs would be less evil than the other. Still not supporting either.

 

[BackAgain]

This makes no logical sense. You're giving up your right to have your right to influence the results - you're not influencing the decision in any way.

Of course it makes sense. And it is perfectly logical.

By not voting, you have made it easier for the worst candidate to prevail.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

That's not what I read. He said he was in independent who usually votes Republican. Clearly, he's also found good reason to not vote Republican. His vote has to be earned.

Still waiting to hear what policies he would support in a Socialist candidate

 

[Paleman]

That's not what I read. He said he was in independent who usually votes Republican. Clearly, he's also found good reason to not vote Republican. His vote has to be earned.

OK, I should have said leans Conservative. Either way, only a fool will give up their opportunity to vote.

Well tell me this much, dipshit. I voted Libertarian in the last election. Who did my vote "help" (other than the Libertarian candidate)?

 

[Carl in Michigan]

There are also differences between the bloods and the crips. If I cared to research them, it's likely that one of these gangs would be less evil than the other. Still not supporting either.

Thank you for not voting. People who are incapable of making wise choices should not vote

 

[Woodznutz]

Goo

Good to know. Hope you do the right (smart) thing.

What most people don't consider is that voting is only a small part of responsible citizenship. It does little good for one to vote for societal change when one is causing the very problem one is voting to correct and is completely unaware that they must change their own behavior voluntarily. Legislators, those we elect, makes laws. However, most of our problems cannot be legislated away.

Therefore, how useful is one's vote?

 

[dblack]

OK, I should have said leans Conservative. Either way, only a fool will give up their opportunity to vote.

Maybe. But you're a bigger fool to vote for a bad candidate on purpose.

 

[Woodznutz]

Thank you for not voting. People who are incapable of making wise choices should not vote

That would disqualify most Americans. So, do we import voters, and from where?

People vote for their own personal beliefs and interests. That's why we're in the pickle we're in.

People ignorantly vote in the misguided belief that what their favorite candidate has promised them will actually come to pass. People also vote simply to virtue signal. Few seem to care for the welfare and future of the nation.

People vote for various reasons, few of them good.
