If people don't vote, they deserve what they get IMO, but sadly they take others down with them. n/t

1. When I turned 18

I was thrilled to be voting for the first time. I helped elect a Democratic Governor. He turned out to be a crook. Did I deserve that?

2. We should fine those who don't vote. If they don't like it, they can vote.

7. Ah, no.

I hope everyone votes but, if they don't, they shouldn't be fined.

11. Works in Australia.

3. GOTV is the most important volunteering that can be done.....vote like

your job/life depends on it....volunteer to canvass or lit drop....talk to everyone to remind them to vote. Silence is not the answer.

4. Sadly those

who vote for Republicans and the Tea Party take the world down with them.

I would rather they abstain from voting.

5. I've always voted. Every time.

But I sometimes feel like it's pointless when those we put in office turn out to be nothing like what they campaigned to be. Doesn't mean I'll stop voting, but it does give me some understanding of why some people don't bother.

9. I know, I've been disappointed so many times when what someone campaigned on

was just a bunch of BS to get elected. I think some people have just given up, they feel the system is so rigged against them. Citizens United was a huge WTF for me ... and indicated to me how unfair the system is and that's apparently the way SCOTUS wants the country to be. I've become very disillusioned, but I will continue to vote.

6. Yep, almost as bad as supporting and investing in corporations.

Which of course use those funds to deny people the vote, to crush labor, the environment and basic human rights and to line the pockets of lobbyists who make sure they are the only voices heard.

8. The should make voting by mail universal and provide a "None of the above" option.

I suspect the "None of the above" would be a popular option for those who have given up on a politics as an exercise in futility.

10. Yep, the election system needs to be revamped across the country, the entire electoral process

IMO.

[freshwest]

12. There it is.

[mmonk]

13. And then there are those who are gerrymandered and their vote has no meaning.

[RKP5637]

14. This, is the part that really irks me. None, should have their vote compromised! n/t

15. Vote Hillary or have Waffles.....

Oh Waffles definitely.

Lucky she's inevitable.
