Current Events > Anyone else NOT voting in the election?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Im definitely not. No point anyway lmao, my one vote doesnt matter and I dont care.

Plus if I did vote I dont know anyone so its just me picking random names and yes/no to things I dont know.
---

My side is sure to win, so why bother voting? RDR 2 just came out and I'd much rather do that.
---

I voted because I recognize that it's my civic duty. I'm not surprised that a divisive person like TC would rather not spend time doing something constructive.
---

no but only because I voted and they'll find a way to erase the vote :tinfoilhat:

exactly what a Russian bot would say

Me

I never vote this times no different

And if 50000 people think like that, that candidate may end up losing.

How is it constructive? Your vote didnt matter. If you didnt exist the results are the same

We dont have a civic duty. You dont and I dont

Dont worry, if 50K people think like that there are plenty who dont

So, that mentality is ok

You dont matter. You or anyone here cant name one reason their vote will matter. At all.

I'm sick of the PLEASE GET OUT AND VOTE!!!! shtick on all social media.

They only want you to go out and vote if it's for their guy.
---

I have more important things to do.

Like, anything else.

Joke's on you, I already voted

When I see that I do the opposite. I posted a pic of me on FB wearing a sticker that said I didnt vote! And tagged some of those people in comments

Seriously thats not even a lot of people

Most people dont know politics or details. Or what a senator does or what house of reps mean. I dont know the purposes of them, or anything government related or current affairs

Those fools who claim LOL civic duty(whatever that means its nothing official)really desire an uninformed person like me to randomly vote and mess things up haha
---

I voted for Beto. I don't like Ted "The Zodiac" Cruz.
---

me. I've only been in my new state for a little over a year and I didn't pay any attention to local matters so I still don't know what's what and who is who. so I'm not even going to bother.

I might vote next year or the year after that. maybe when there is a new governor up for election or something

The way I see it is I'm just doing everyone a favor. People are very serious about their politics, so the last thing they should want is my ignorant ass showing up and screwing over their hardwork. I'll do my best for society by just staying out of the way.

It's concerning that you think what you're saying is fact.
---

Its true. We dont have civic duty whatever the **** that means

I bet you also like to spend free time volunteering the community for no income

If you voted, your votes didnt change any outcome, at all!
---

LOL

I actually like this argument.

This is an extremely weak trolling attempt.

Educate yourself on politics; it's not the rest of the world's fault that you choose to remain ignorant.

Every vote matters, and anyone who says otherwise is lying and pushing an agenda so you won't vote.

Also, 50k can easily swing any election. Effectively 70k decided the Presidential Election last year.

I voted early by mail.

No it doesnt. You as a person dont matter. Your vote is canceled out this election.

Why? I have no benefit to educate on politics. I dont know what these positions mean or why the amendment matter to me as a person.

And HOW? I dunno how to do that. You cant educate on politics easily lmao. All I know is the president is our leader and stuff. I didnt choose it, its normal. Most Americans dont know politics. You can learn easily and itll take 4 years

We dont have a civic duty thats fake and made up lol

Yes, you do matter. It's pretty awful of you to imply that anyone doesn't matter.

Let me guess: you're a cisgender, white, and heterosexual man who's completely unaware of the privilege that allows him to "not care about voting."

Google your local politicians. Research their history. Make up your own mind. Don't be lazy and demand a handout in the form of someone doing all the work for you.

You do have a civic duty, and YOU are shirking it. You are cowardly, ignorant, and you are actively spreading false information to push an agenda so you can stay comfortable in your little bubble.

your vote is canceled out. By some other person who votes differently. So your vote doesn't matter, only someone else's vote matters. You make no difference, but they do
---

Eh. That's your right.

I always vote though, many people fought for my ability to vote in the good old USA. So even if it truly doesn't matter, it's my way of giving back to those people by being a part of their vision and having a voice in my country.

No I dont.

Give me ONE good reason. No election depends on my vote so I dont use it because I dont care! I dont have a civic duty and you cant prove it. You dont have one either!! You as a person wouldnt matter to the election. If you didnt exist the outcome will be the same, trust and believe.

I dont know anything about politics or politicians or history etc. You say lol educate yourselfbut no one knows how. Unless you as a person take the time to spoon feed everything otherwise you can never tell someone to educate and not share all the tools.

You're an obvious troll, and you don't deserve the time of day, but your vote does matter. Because when you spew garbage like this, you're never just discouraging one person; you're talking to multiple people. That bad vibe spreads exponentially, and then you're looking at a swath of 50k who think "their vote doesn't matter."

I'll say it again: you're spreading misinformation. This is straight out of the alt-right's playbook. You are either feigning ignorance, or you're so easily manipulated that you just picked up these talking points from your environment.

I just explained how you can educate yourself. Surely you're smart enough to know how to google the names of your local candidates. You are, aren't you?

Please, no one listen to this man. He's an obvious agent with an agenda.

Everyone that I have tagged lived up to expectations.

Me. Although I may do so just to vote for the opposite people than the people who have been bombarding me with flyers and ads on TV.
