This “I don’t vote because the outcome is already determined by voters” logic is pretty nonsensical and even childish.
I respect the people that actually do vote – the ones that make what is seemingly inevitable actually happen.
I vote. I will always vote. If I believe I’m the only one voting for a candidate and millions of others are voting for the other one, I still vote.
I don’t generally get wrapped in patriotism but many people have made incredible sacrifices so that we can vote. The one thing we can do to honor them is to actually exercise that right once a year.[/quote]
lol, your lack of understanding of the presidential electoral college definitely points out your ignorance of the matter.
Maybe your comments didn’t come out right in text, but it certainly came out to me as a high and mighty I’m better than you since I vote attitude. At least that’s what I read out of it…
That said, I think most of us will vote for other items on the ballot, just some of us may not for either majority prez candidate since they both are bad IMO.
They are probably historically the most unfavorable in history.
Also, per the last comment, a lot of politics is like a coronation. Like it was uncovered, the dem primary which the dem national committee was supposed to be neutral on, came to be heavily Clinton favoring so it was not a “fair” primary as laid out in how they were supposed to be run.
I’d be happy if both candidates dropped out since having a 3rd or 4th candidate split the votes would just let congress pick and that probably isn’t good neither.
There probably is a reason why so few young people are interested in elections since most people feel there is little they can do and the “machine” just keeps running electing people who are loyal to the establishment…(old boys/girls club)…
