I'm so disgusted with all the political ads and nothing but politics in the news, I think I'll just skip voting. It doesn't mean anything anyway.

@independentone Congressional elections? If we wanna see more good laws getting passed, we need seats in Congress.

@BlueVeins It should work that way but the low quality of candidates the last decade has pretty much made voting just an exercise in futility.
In Ca, we voted overwhelmingly to end daylight savings time a few years ago. Congress decided to ignore the vote and just say no.
20 or more years ago Ca voted to deny illegals state aid, entrance to schools and more, yet that was also overturned.
Why bother voting since those in power just do what they want anyway.

At present, un-decided. I think Joe is a truly kind, well- intentioned man. However, given the current rise of fascism and efforts to malign the efforts of our American forefathers, the tide of hatred cultivated by the MAGA crowd, the efforts to further suppress human rights, I may have to once again vote AGAINST rather than "for"

The best we can hope for is the RNC might at least nominate a moderate traditional Republican with backbone and a modicum of personal integrity.

Signed, The dreamer.

@Grateful4you Biden is not on the mid-terms ballot, but centrist Dems are just moderate Republicans anyway ... and the current atmosphere of right wing lunacy may well be blamed on "Third Way" centrist neoliberalism since the 1990s

I'm willing to bet that it's kind of like American Idol, the TV show. Apparently viewers of the show can text their vote for a contestant, but ultimately it doesn't matter because the people running the show have already chosen who they want to win.

I would not doubt for one second, if when we vote in November is the same way. I bet you if no one voted, candidates would still somehow get votes, and that right there tells you all you need to know in my opinion.

I'm not waiting until 8 Nov, I'll probably vote tomorrow (we have early voting here)

I'll be voting Dem, or any other candidate in any specific race where no Dem is running but the GQP candidate still has an opponent, and for local non-partisan races, any candidate not backed by a shadowy dark money group with typically right wing agendas

For any race just having a GQP candidate I will skip that race
