If we don't get out there to vote, and we don't vote for a change, is anything that happen our fault?

Question

I think it ends up being mostly our fault. So don't complain afterwards if you don't do it.

Answer 1

YES- Absolutely. As individuals, the best thing you can do to change anything is vote.
If you don't vote, you don't get to complain.
Thanks so much for bringing up an important point.

Answer 2

I believe voting D or R is continuing with more of the same. I detest the leftists that have taken over the former DNC As much as I detest the RINO's that have taken over the RNC. It pisses me off that 30 % of my wages go into the coffers of some sort of government entity. I was so pissed about the domestic spending excesses of both parties with a seeming no end in sight.. At least the tax cuts allowed the GDP continuing growing enough to keep revenues up.

I will vote according to education about the issue and not along party line.. MOST people vote D or R based on how they were raised, or how their friends tell them to vote. MOST voters have no clue about basic civics. Let alone the how and why the constitutional representative republic was designed by our forefathers...

I fall to the words of the Declaration of Independence, do you think voting for a Democratic will change things? I don't.. I am not that stupid. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,

--That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. —

The power of the people is in the vote, and in the Bill of Rights as originally intended.

Libertarian Yes, Constitutional party Yes. The problem with no majority 3rd party is the vote becomes the lessor of two evils. Again, I will vote for the candidate that more closely represents my view. Close the Border, Fight terrorism and cut taxes.

Answer 3

If you don't vote, then you shouldn't have the right to complain. But this is America, where even the stupidest person has the right to complain about the things he/she has no clue about and vote Democrat.

Answer 4

I vote. No matter if my candidate gets in office or not then I HAVE the right to complain.

If other people don't vote then they DON"T have a right to complain about who is in office or things that happen.

Everyone has a duty to fulfill their constitutional duty by voting.

Thanks
