do you vote?

Assuming you have the level right to exercise your democratic contribution

Do you vote for every election?

And if you don't.... Why not?

Pretty much voted at every election I was eligible for.

From nationwide ones, regional, and local ones, to the representatives of the students in school, or the color of the tiles at the entrance of the building lol

I do, yes, in the General (national Parliamentary) Elections and usually, Local Government (council) too.

I vote when I see a manifesto of policies that make sense.

If that’s not available, I don’t.

Yes I do. I always vote. 🙂

I am an active member of the UK Green Party. I have voted in every election, sometimes for a lesser evil. Sometimes for what I believe. The Labour Party is my toxic ex

No, last time I didn't do my homework and had absolutely no idea who candidates were. Safer to not vote in such case.

@CrazyMusicLover But you're still going to take responsibility for it ultimately, if the winner turns out to be awful and also critically helped by a large mass not voting 😅

Look at the USA, non voters and MAGA at the eyes of the rest of the world are pretty much the same thing rn.

@Elessar Nah, it's not the same. You can passively contribute and actively contribute. Passively is still much better.

@CrazyMusicLover But both contribute ultimately; like especially if the guy that won wouldn't have had the numbers if people bothered to vote, "I could've stopped this but I didn't" would be my constant unsuppressible thought.

Obviously, this is about such a specific scenario, it wouldn't be the case if, say, my non-vote resulted in the guy sponsored by the lobby of construction winning the role of mayor against the guy sponsored by the one of farmers.
I voted in this election, but skipped the one in 2024, didn't like either Trump or Harris, so didn't bother.
