Do you vote?

[Pumpkin]

Elections are upon us in the U.S., do you plan to go vote? If you're from everywhere else in the world, do you take part in voting?

[Formalhaut]

I voted in this poll! :nod:

[FFNut]

I always vote. If you don't vote, you have no voice.

[Pheesh]

It's mandatory in Australia unless you're able to sneak your way off the electoral ballot. But yeah, I always vote.

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

I never vote.

[Zanmato]

I didn't vote but I might start due to the current situation in Poland... Our politicians are truly pitiful. :facepalm:

[fire_of_avalon]

I chose other because inalmost always vote. The only times I don't vote are in the odd election where it's only local and there's only one or two candidates running for office and I don't feel strongly about either of them.

[Madame Adequate]

I always vote. Even though I am cynical about the neoliberal system we find ourselves in globally, that doesn't mean there aren't degrees within that. Getting the 'right' team in might not seem like it makes much difference, but between Bush and Cameron, I've seen pretty damn well what happens when the explicitly bad guys win an election, and as I am not an accelerationist, that's to be avoided.

[FinalxxSin]

I think I had voted once or twice, and that's about it. Now and these days I don't even bother since it seems to boil down to the lesser of two evils in the US.

[Bubba]

If you don't vote, you have no voice.

Not true. I have never voted and yet I make a living using my voice.

[SammieBabe]

As often as I possibly can. My first ever election was the 2000 Presidential Race, and I'm in Florida.

After that, you cannot convince me that my vote doesn't count.

[escobert]

I always vote. If you don't vote, you have no voice.


My voice isn't heard when I do vote...


I don't vote if I don't like anyone running. I'm not down with the "lesser of two evils" nonsense. And anyone who says I don't have a right to complain if i don't vote can shove it. I'll complain all I want since I didn't participate in getting these morons into office.

[Galuf]

of the 2 votes i couldve done so far... no.

SHHH theyll find me again :shifty:
and lecture me dun dun duuuuuun.

[Del Murder]

Yes, I exercise my civic duty when it comes time to.

[Vasher]

Absolutely. I have punched ballots at every opportunity since my 18'th birthday.

Not speaking of anyone here, but it's scary how many people cast an ignorant vote. One of the most notable was nearly 20 years ago. The proposition would have set aside an additional $50 million for "road work". The problem, it was explicitly written that there would be no accounting for who/what/when/where/why/how the money was used. So, Bob and Steve could deposit that in their offshore accounts and if the question ever arose a simple "fixed some pot holes" would have been TMI. Nearly 50% of the Los Angeles voters thought that was a great idea.

[Laddy]

I've voted in every election I was eligible for. I know my single vote doesn't mean much but I get too invested in the political process not to.

[Shiny]

First electron I voted in was for Obama and then again for Obama. And now it will be for Bernie.

[Mirage]

I really think there should be a "i usually vote" poll option.

[Shiny]

I said electron unintentionally.

[Calliope]

Nah, I haven't voted in years.

[maybee]

Nope. not in years. Most of the time it's not worth it as it's basically asshole vs asshole- vote for what asshole you prefer.

[Mirage]

Nah, I haven't voted in years.

3 years? :p

[Calliope]

Longer than that, unfortunately - it's illegal for me to vote in the country I live in, and also my country of origin (although I believe I can appeal that now that I've actually set foot back there).

[rhophiehalul78]

I have never voted but will try to register next chance I have to.

[Loony BoB]

Rarely. I've only ever voted in the Scottish referendum when it comes to government based elections. I might vote more often in the future though, as I am starting to feel a bit more strongly about certain issues.

[Midgar Mist]

Short answer: Yes
Long answer: Erm.....no, I'm not falling for that

[Burtsplurt]

Recently, yes. Cameron and company are so repugnant that I do cast my pretty much worthless vote.

[BustaMo]

I usually always do, especially in the major Presidential elections or one's in my direct community that affect my city. I wish I was more up-to-date on nominees stances and views and characteristics, but I do vote as much as I can and plan to next month when my state's turn comes around.
