Would you vote the lesser of two evils?
    #14577506 - 06/07/11 11:33 PM (12 years, 7 months ago)

Do you think if the republican nomination seemed just as bad as Obama you would vote between either of them?


Personally if no one good gets the GOP nom im prob just not gonna vote.  Last election i didnt vote either cause i didnt feel id trust either of em.

I'd rather not vote than vote for the lesser of two evils, which is why I don't vote.

You fuckers need to vote.

Not voting gives scumbags that much more power.

Anyways, I would vote for the candidate who best represents my ideals with the fewest moral sacrifices that I would have to make.

Does it though? In a 2 or 3 party system the underdog never wins, so I choose not to give my vote to anyone, since it won't make a difference.

However, if I see a party that really respresents my views I will vote for them even if I know they have no chance of winning.

Of course not, because you don't live here.

We have to take an interest in your political system though because if the wrong person gets in you never know who'll get invaded next.

Im not going to vote for the lesser of two evils when i can vote for a third party candidate who i fully support just to show that im voting for someone who i believe in. Our votes dont count for shit anyway when really it is the Electoral college who gets to decide.

The electoral college itself should be abolished and is only in place because the common man back when it was invented was too stupid to vote responsibly.

And as long as you're still voting- 3rd party candidate or not- :thumbup:

it's that attitude that's the reason the underdog never wins, just think
about the US elections, about 30% of the eligible population decides the
future of this nation, if the other 70% voted then things would be much
different. maybe we'd have had ron paul in the oval office. in 1992 people
stopped believing for just a little bit that the underdog couldnt win and
that 30% voted the way they felt, Ross Perot took 20% of the vote and had
those voters not decided to buy into the rhetoric of the media about some
spoiler effect he may have taken the election the following year when he
only got 6% of the vote

Looking from outside the box, it seems that no matter who gets elected next, you guys will still be/get fucked.

Unless the next guy is a fiscal genius, the US economy will remain extremely shitty.

Hopefully for you guys, the next prez will be the master of budget cuts otherwise that crushing debt of yours will have to be paid by increased taxes.

IMO.

Seems like what you're talking about is Gary Johnsons specialty, but too bad he got discluded from the CNN debate :doh:


The only other political hope seems to be :ronpaul:    But his chances are slim.    If he wants to win maybe itd do his campaign good to advertise like crazy or something.

:maximumtrolling:

yeah man you're so right. Why would we need someone different in the white house? Why would we want someone with a consistant voting record in favor of no war and pro civil liberates when we can have Obama? You know, since Obama keeps every promise he ever makes, and he totally doesn't prefer helping out the bankers over the little guys.


Ya man Obama 2012, we need CHANGE. Obama has brought soooo much CHANGE in these last 4 years he definitely deserves to be reelected.

plus you know he's black so we have to vote for him
