Who do you vote for?

Question

Today is election day and I decided not to vote because I don't agree with either candidate. I feel like I would be voting for the lesser of two evils and I don't want to do that. I want to be able to back my candidate completely. Does anbody feel the same way? Do you vote anyway? If yes, why?

Answer 1

Answer 2

I voted today, and this was by far the most fun election yet for me. A lot is at stake this year, an exciting time to vote. No, I don't think all of the candidates I voted for were great...there is a lot wrong with the way the system is set up, but I just tried to pick what I felt was the lesser of two evils. I'd go vote if I were you, at least then you have a right to complain when things inevitably go wrong :o)!

Answer 3

I voted Libetarian so I don't have that problem.
I feel good about my vote cause I voted my principles.
Libertarians may not win but the losing party will care more about libertarian issues the next time around I guarantee it.
The Democrats have already had to move towards the center this election in alot of states, because of the swing towards the right in last couple of elections.
Bush though hasn't lived up to the fiscally conservative principles of the Republican Party. He has been socially conservative with things like ending partial-birth abortion, but he has left the fiscally conservatives wing of the party and has been very liberal spending much on waste and big gov programs.

Answer 4

Yes, I vote. Even when I don't like either candidate, and most times I don't, I vote. There are local issues, school levies, etc. that you can vote for. As for the candidates, if you don't like either major candidate,consider a third party (if it is allowed on the ballot) or just leave it blank for that race. But the local and state issues that don't involve candidates are certainly worth going out to vote for or against.

Answer 5

You don't have to love your candidate. You don't have to be able to back your candidate completely. That is really so secondary to what is important in the election. What is important is which party controls Congress. If you want the Republicans to keep control of the government, you vote Republican. If you want change, you vote Democratic. It really is as simple as that this year.

Answer 6

Fortunately we have several third-party and independent candidates running in our elections down here, so I have the option of voting for them.

I used to think that "not voting was making a statement" - but it's not. All it does is let others speak for me.

Answer 7

I voted AGAINST the Republicans because I felt that balance is needed to bring our current administration under control. To me, that was more important in this election than any one candidate.

Usually, I vote for mostly independent candidates, but this time I felt it was more important to get the balance back.

Answer 8

I voted. You still should have gone and voted. There are other candidates running for office that you could have voted for. If you don't like either candidates for Senate, for example, you can just skip that race and vote for the other races.

Answer 9

vote anyway. vote -vote -vote. people in other countries suffer and die for this right. The people run our government and are therefore ultimately responsible for whatever outcome is facilitated. Take that responsibility and vote.

Answer 10

Yes. I voted Libertarian. There are other options out there.

Answer 11

I voted for my mom! Good Luck mom!
