I can't understand not voting. It just doesn't make sense to me.

I am glad we don't have a law making people vote though, it slows down the slide to Idiocracy a bit.

People take the risk of getting killed in some countries just for voting. They want to vote.
People in Americaz are so fuckin lazy surfing on the web, eating potato chips and drinking Coke that they convince themselves that they have ''good reasons'' for not voting. Fuck that! All the World would want your votes, since USA's actions have repercussions on all the f'n Globe.- Very true and sad. I just heard that voter turnout for City of Detroit was 14% of the registered voters.d_rek

Telling people you didn't vote doesn't make you "punk" or anything with your useless "civil disobedience"... it just make you stupid.

your vote has been bought and sold many times over. don't fool yourself into thinking ANYONE in gov't is looking out for your best interests. presidential elections have been won with pure diebold shadiness.
- how does one get into that business?pango
- metaphorically speaking, no one is literally buying your votes; oh wait, they might as well...studderine

just look at how the propositions are written. yes, they REALLY want you to vote for the measure that will truly benefit society.
- next time, just write my name. lol.

So, did you vote typhoid or cholera? Do you ever think why in a country of hundreds of millions you only get two options, none of them good?

- and you showed 'em by voting! go tell your congressman and you get ready for them to listen!!studderine
- Actually, my Congressman represents the district's views pretty well. What was your point again?ukit

I wish voting was easier. When I voted during the presidential election, finding a place to vote was confusing... then I found I turned up at the wrong place (after waiting in line) and had to do some absentee ballot, which wouldn't be counted for a week or two later. Meanwhile of course the new president is announced that night. So did my vote count? No! ...and it pisses me off for having one small mistake of going to one place a mile away from my “official place” that made me vote useless.... :/

The biggest problem with "democracy" is that in the voting process there is no "none" option or "I don't vote by choice". Counting "none" votes would change the system an, then, politicians could actually be fired and that is the last thing they want.

It's funny that people always complain "there are only two choices." If you look at any ballot in any race in pretty much every state, there are way more than two choices.
A more accurate complaint might be "I'm too damned lazy to bother looking up what the other choices were."
- i live in the south and there were literally 2 choices for every selection. 'merikuh.silentpost

I live in england, I have US nationality and i go out of my way to get my overseas ballot and vote. People who don't vote are ungrateful idiots who mistake 'being different' and 'letting a shower of c***s get in to run your country and influence the world'
