Topic: Should you be obligated to vote? | |
---|---|
Some people criticize others for not voting because they see it as a right so therefore you should vote. But does that mean you should be forced or feel obligated to vote for someone you really don't like? If you didn't like any of the candidates that were running or anything that they stood for, would you still vote? |

If they put "None of the above" on the ballot, I'd feel like my vote really mattered. They won't, it doesn't, so I don't.

As women I think we should take the right seriously. The sufferage to make that possible alone is a reason. BUT....I can say this is the first time I honestly don't know yet WHAT I am going to do!

I don't always like the choices either. When that happens, I vote for the person that I think will do the least amount of harm.

But at least when the lesser of two evils screws something up I can honestly say I never voted for the guy. |

And on a side note, when the only choice you're given is between a ham sandwich and a tuna fish salad, I'd rather be a vegetarian.

If you didn't like any of the candidates that were running or anything that they stood for, would you still vote? you vote if you want to, not out of obligation it really doesn't matter the popular vote means nothing (ex: Gore vs. Bush) In the American system of presidential elections, the electoral vote determines the winner, and Bush won this count, although Gore received the most votes (called the "popular vote"). it's a personal choice |

And you don't even elect the people who vote in the electoral college. So why bother? |

But like I said there are people in this world who feel so strongly about voting that they think you are not American if you don't vote. My Aunt is one of these people, but then again she is very opinionated when it comes to politics. |
