Please give your reasons why you do or do not vote.
STAY POSITIVE!!!!
-
I do not because if I did, someone might think I give two fucks. But I also rarely complain about the people in office since I do not vote.
-
I will not vote today for the first tine in 55 years. I moved from Maricopa county AZ to Navajo County AZ. Last spring we applied for absentee ballots...got a questionnaire last week to be sent in to get the real document. Due to back and forth mail we will not be able to vote.
I believe all of my candidates and issues will be voted in despite my missing vote. It will be a very goodnight for America.

How fucking old are you? I thought the was the old man on the board at 55. Hell you have been voting that long. ;) Just giving you shit.

I usually vote but I didn't today. Why? Because fuck it, that's why. What is the point of voting in gerrymandered districts. In addition to that you are voting along with the deceased, illegal aliens, Mickey Mouse and the Easter Bunny. It's a con. The game is rigged. Your vote does not matter.
Your time, energy and money is better spent preparing for the consequences.

You sir are the exact reason why democracy sucks.
-
It is a choice. It seems the people that do vote get very angry and upset at the ones who do not.
STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got my ballot. Dropping it off at the polling place later. I was politically disenfranchised, but there is too much that just needs to get done. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
-
Voting... lol
Make the people believe they have a CHOICE, when the reality is... there is no choice... there never has been.
No matter if your guy is (s)elected, things only get worse... more expensive, more draconian laws enacted, more taxes, more fees, etc.
Politics is Hollywood for ugly people.

to vote is to give consent.

And the one's who don't vote shouldn't complain.

Seems like you guys are just figuring out now what some of us have figured out in our early teens. That's it's a bullshit dog and pony show. I'm 34 and have never voted in my entire life for anything or anyone. And life couldn't be any better because I didn't wait for a snake dressed in a suit to make it better for me.
All this furious voting and slogans of 'if you don't vote ... bla bla bla puke' didn't make life better for ANYONE the past decades.
-

They can complain because there's literally nobody to vote for.
The bible thumping uneducated screaming halfwits (right wing), or the 'tax you to death to prop up the unproductive because we hate successful people (left wing).
Both of those are offensive to intelligent people.
No point.

ironically, after serving as a Marine and seeing the political landscape in the last 2 decades, i realized it doesnt matter.
I vote in critical local elections, like Washingtons background check hiding registration in it, and if i really hate a certain candidate ill vote, but thats it.
They do whatever they want regardless of vote.
A washihton governor demanded 3 recounts until she won.
When a bunch of corpses were shown to have vote, she said 'cmon, you lost, move on.' And everyone just said ok.
Except when it was her THREE fckn recounts.
Its all bullshit.
-
Sadly the voting system is rigged.
This should tell you enough about how dumb the system is.
Al Gore votes: 50,999,897 48.4%
George Bush votes: 50,456,002 47.9%
Any monkey can tell you who had more votes and a higher percentage but we all know who ended up winning. Democracy my ass. You can still get the most votes and lose. Isn't that what happens in dictatorships?

of course they can complain. Theyre tax paying citizens. Just because someone abstains because they cant stand the options doesnt mean theyve forfeited their right to aj opinion, thats a manipulation tactic to keep things the same.

Off course it's a manipulation tactic. A savvy 10 year old will see that. However, in this thread, we've had the usual dumbasses fall for it already. Naturally the first one is our lovable but dimwitted friend Joe, turning up with slogans straight from the manipulation book.

Well put.

Yep. And so many people are sick of the mud slinging politics, you never hear about what policies they support and what they have done, its all about an 'us vs them' mentality. Some people treat it like a football game, where its team liberal vs team conservative. They both suck and it sucks that most people just eat up the two party system.

Exactly. You have to love that people actually believe that voting will make a difference in their lives, i.e., if I vote for the right person, they will do right by the average american citizen. You vote, the person you voted for gets elected, and your life still remains shitty, posting on getbig. :D :D Vote or do not vote, it will make no difference in your life.

not only that, but your vote maked little to no difference.. it comes down to who manipulates the system/plays the game better anyway... the votes arent the determining factor, its who can cheat better.

I have never voted and no matter who is in office, I never see a difference in my life. Republican or democrat has made no difference to me. The only people who really see a difference from voting are the rich elite who can pull strings. People like us are to insignificant to be personally affected in a positive way by politicians.

What about voting for senate? There is nothing gerrymandered about that.

I vote for gun rights. The left wing definitely wants my guns and my ammo, the right doesn't, so I vote for republicans.

well, i dont love or hate guns that much to vote based on one issue.
-

fuck no. Both sides love funs and ammo.

Me too. The democrats here in Washington ran some of the most bullshit commercials for our anti-gun legislation... they said its "background checks for everyone so that women who suffer from domestic abuse won't get shot because their abuser went and bought a gun off the street".
Well, it turns out that particular piece of legislation also takes and records ALL background check/gun purchases in a STATE registration, which isnt subject to the federal statute of limitations on how long they can keep a record of your transaction.
Sneaky fucks.

So to the voters out there, when you are done do you wear the sticker to show off to everyone you come in contact with, whether it be at Walmart or Porto's while getting a fabulous fruit tart?
STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep and I sent out a company wide email telling everyone to do their civic duty.
-

So say I vote and get my guy in there. The one that I foolishly believe is different. Wise, and honest.
Then Obama just tells him to fuck off and does everything by executive order.....like he has done in the past and is planning to do again after the elections.

When doesn't he ever :P
But for real, if voting makes people feel fuzzy, accounted for, important, then nobody should have the right to throw cold water on their enduring delusions. It's when they start acting as if they've made any difference, then we should point and laugh.

I consider my vote today to have been a great big penis slap across the face of some brain dead Lib like Gwyneth Paltrow.
Fuck you Gwyneth, Oprah, Susan Sarandon, Whoopie Uglyberg, Sean Penn(is), Tim Robbins, Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cockcatcher, Lesbo Garofolo, and all you Baldwin fuckwits.
-
Well, the idiots here in Wa are passing I594 so far, which instates a de facto firearm registry.
And theyre voting down I591, which restricta consfication of firearms without DUE PROCESS.
I fckn hate these people.

He's not even in this country.

I voted for reason as much as possible. and for responsible economic policies and water planning for California.. Not frigging waiitng on Jeebus to come flying down from the sky, fuck that idiocy.

Washington is a beautiful state, but its gotten really out of hand with their government. Most who live there have no basis of reality and its just one big deluded echo-chamber.

yep.
Quickly going the way of Cali... surprise, because aftet the tech boom, many californians fled here... and then began bitching about how uncivilized we are compared to Cali and started trying to instate their same bullshit laws and ideals that fucked their state.
-

California is retarded! When will they ever realize? They just keep digging deeper and deeper into a hole when will the insanity end?

Calling it how I see it my friend. You're called a moron at least once a day on here.
Think about why you're consistently perceived as the dumbest political poster on Getbig. They can't all be wrong.

Yeah I saw that firearm registry passed. I used to live in Washington in Spokane, and it just baffled me how one half of the state, Seattle, could dictate the other half of the state. Oh well, there's always Texas.

If voting could change things it would be against the law. If not voting could change things it would be against the law.

This is pure BS. There were 3 recounts and the media did 2 more and Bush won every time. Get it right at least.

well, it hasnt passed yet.
The ballots have to be postmarkes by 8pm last night, amd were all vote by mail.
Thats another BS tactic i noticed they were using... using extremely tiny early numbers from King country and trying to claim victory and hour after the deadline to have to ballots POSTMARKED.

retard, these are officialy results. I guess they didn't count the boxes of discarded votes thrown into the Florida swamp that would have let Gore win that state.

This board is truly bizzaro world. People who claim to own multimillion dollar international businesses don't see the value in things like contributing a few bucks to your local politicians' campaigns in exchange for personal favors? Or voting for and supporting the capitalist over the socialist? Or that the fall of a nation like the US will affect every corner of the globe catastrophically?
I always vote, even if it's for a lesser of 2 evils. Neither party is perfect, and no candidate ever is.
I'll pick the candidate who's a little more outgoing about his religious beliefs than the other candidate if the first candidate is more likely to let me keep half the money I earn and not wipe their ass with the Constitution, and still believes in some form of free market capitalism over big govt socialism.
I don't vote on religion, abortion, or gay marriage - I have libertarian-ish opinions on those issues, but they are pretty much non-issues when it comes to my vote. Unless someone is advocating flying planes into buildings, stoning to death rape victims, and beheading homosexuals, these wedge issues are of no real concern to me either way.
I cannot begin to understand the minds of those who spend countless hours and thousands of posts arguing politics (often those of foreign nations) yet don't even vote? ???
