If you don’t vote, you have no right to complain about politics

Do you agree or disagree? I disagree. I don’t really like any of the candidates. But I really want to get my ass out there and vote and just do it anyway.

Voting is a privilege our country affords us. We should take advantage of it and make our voices heard.

Whether you support the candidates or motions on the ballot is a separate issue. That should be addressed earlier in the primaries.

Americans can complain (and do) about everything. We have that ability, but IMO we should all vote.

@brian29715 I think there’s only one presidential election I did mot vote. I’m an independent so I can’t vote in the primaries.

The "right" thing doesnt sound "right" but if you don't vote and still complain about it, I'd say you're part of the problem your likely complaining about.

Total BS. The binary party system is Tyranny and George Washington called out the threat of the party system centuries ago but Americans didn't listen and look at this country now!

The Constitution is defunct null and void, and the USA is declining, plummeting like a falling elevator and committing YET ANOTHER genocide...

Because apparently removing the Native Americans from their land wasn't enough for the West or this Empire (NOT Democracy/Republic).

But this time the American military is so weak, they are letting Israel do it for them, and they are losing too. As are the Ukranians.

There is no privilege to voting in this farcical election.

The Antichrist Trump will win, and all you people who blindly went along with this colonial agenda or endorsed it are going to have a Come to Jesus moment, to say the least.

Play the Devil's game? Win the Devil's prizes.

@GeistInTheMachine I think political parties are an unavoidable side effect of freedom and the right to assemble.

@ElwoodBlues The issue is the consolidation. Not necessarily parties in themselves. Hopefully the Dem party goes kaput now.
Tbh I didn’t feel that way until I moved to a swing state. In NJ, it’s going to be democrat no matter what anyway, so it doesn’t matter much if they don’t get one vote. In PA I feel like my vote kinda matters. Also, they could be under 18, I remember being told that as a teen interested in politics 😭 it was rude

@666Maggotz I live in Pennsylvania. Lived here my whole life. But I will still have my opinions, if I don’t vote. Depends how I feel that day. I really feel I need to get out there and do it.

Do you want freedom, peace, food, and a chance at prosperity or do you want wars, subjugation, poverty, disease, and hunger? Who cares about the candidates, it's what they stand for that counts. Clearly, you have not been paying attention.

@TexChik I’m voting for trump if I do. And a probably will. That is all….
I agree. If you don't like either Harris or Trump, vote 3rd party or write in a protest vote.

If you refuse to participate in the process, you have no right to complain about the results.

My wife and I voted on Friday. When you look at what each candidate stands for the answer is simple. Trump is the answer this year and for the next four years.

@Musicman I know. I probably will vote.

Agree. Why complain when you aren’t contributing to a solution.
