I love it when people don't vote in the primary election then complain they don't like the candidates on the voting ballot in the general election.

If I don't like them in the primaries, I usually don't like the people in the general election either.

I am not crazy about any of the candidates this election , but I am still going to vote in the primary . I know people that don't vote in the primary and then they complain about the candidates in the general election. Women fought hard to be able to vote so I am not going to let that go to waste.

Oh, I plan on voting in the primary election, but I might leave the box next to presidential candidate blank.

How would they take my vote? I don't live in Chicago? You mean some states let people vote for you if you leave the space blank? Where I live it would just be one less vote for one of the people running. I could also vote for myself or my wife or for my dog, it wouldn't matter as long as I didn't have to vote for someone I don't like and this year that would be everyone.

Use your head.

By not voting you let others make your choices by default.

You realize that even if you leave it blank, one of the candidates you don't like will win anyway?
 
No Reba, still indecisive on both sides of the fence. For one thing, the results from our district does not necessarily represent how I will vote, although it's interesting to note there is a large contradiction between popular public opinion and to whom delegates have been awarded to.

So if I don't like any of the candidates and don't want to vote for them, I should just play eeny meeny miny moe and pick one just to throw one more vote into the hopper? I could also just pick a fringe candidate. Just to let you know the people don't actually elect the President, the Electoral College does.

I guess if I pick a fringe candidate I do the same thing, but at least I voted!

I would be willing to bet that if the US put a none of the above on the ballot, it would probably win.
 
Reba: Trump won in my state. :mad:
Foxrac: Sorry, please check your mirror.
Reba: Oh wow, my hair spiked.
Foxrac: It could be Trump effect.
Reba: :mad:
Foxrac: Trump is just other Nixon. :lol:
Reba: How so?

:lol:

hmmm.. if you are of legal age and can vote, you shoud.
how about starting here:

find where you can vote

also, you may simply ask your neighbour what place they are going to vote, and register there. make sure you also have at least 2 or even 3 pieces od valid ID, with an address. if you don't have any ID with current address, bring any utilities or i.e bank mail addressed to you - something official. you may need it.

How to vote? it is simple, I don't know about US but here in Canada you get yourself informed about what presidential candidates talk about (it`s never too late) - that is called a platform:

A political party platform or platform is a list of the values and actions which are supported by a political party or individual candidate, in order to appeal to the general public, for the ultimate purpose of garnering the general public's support and votes about complicated topics or issues.
Party platform - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party_platform

then, (they`ll tell you how) you check the window of your candidate party, i.e if you want to vote for X and X is a republican, you check the window with Y representant of X-republican party.

and so on.
Simply, ask someone for explanation.

Hope you`ll have fun voting :)
choose wisely!

2016 will going be my 10th anniversary since first vote in November 2006.
 
I have until Tuesday.

It really looks like Trump has Democrats scared, I was reading all the Trump bashing on CNN this morning .. and all those posts on FB about how "America" needs to put a stop to him.

6 months ago, no one took him seriously, just saying.
 
Not voting this year. No trust between me nor the governent system. Its all a circus
 
What happened to no politics please?
