I Am Not Voting

I honestly think voting is pointless in most states. Let’s be honest here, you’re vote only has real influence in swing states and if you fall within the 2 party system. Otherwise, it’s just a waste of time. But you know, that’s just my opinion.

Your vote is your voice. It isn't shaking windows, winning or losing, or right or wrong...it's your voice. And, there are other parties on the ballots. Just because they are not "paid attention to" does not mean you cannot vote for them. The results will show the numbers for all candidates which, in turn, will show the other parties they have work to do to earn your vote.

@Pinkstarburst but what happens when I don’t support those parties either? Because that sounds like a reason not to vote.

@TonyPajamas The only reason not to vote is because you are dead. All of your excuses are cop-outs. If you want to see a change in our country or your state you need to vote...even if it is lesser of two evils.

@Pinkstarburst voting for the lesser of two evils is worse than not voting at all. You’re supporting an oppressive system.

That's your opinion. And how great is it that we live in a country where you can voice it! Just like voting!!!

@Pinkstarburst yeah I said in the original post that this was all my opinion,

@TonyPajamas Not voting is what oppressors wants from you. So they are legitimated to take decisions against you, that you had a chance to change, but you simply didn't.
