I don't vote. Does that make me a bad person?

Question

At least you can't blame me for whatever the politicians do.

Answer 1

no just a misinform person

Answer 2

Your one vote does not mean much when there are millions of votes cast during an election. It is the act of voting that makes all the difference. when you take the time to go and cast your vote your friends and family and co-workers and whoever else that is near to you see this and maybe decide to vote as well. also it does not matter, much, who you vote for either. Elections are won by the masses.
So, to answer your question, NO not voting didn't make you a bad person. I voted and it didn't make me a good person. As far as the politicians are concerned who can you blame besides they themselves. You can blame me for being an American and for participating in our government. should try it is easy, fun and doesn't take long.

Answer 3

If you are a ctizen of this country it is your moral duty to vote. It does not make you a bad person. It just means you are not interested to put in the few minutes of your time to give your opinion. But if you don't vote, you should not go around giving your opinions because you didn't do it when it counted. You read up on the canditates, cast your vote and hope you picked a responsible person. Usually the biggest talkers are the ones that didn't botherr and you aren't responsible for what politicians do.

Answer 4

Well, you certainly can't complain now can you?

You are part of the problem if you don't vote. Almost everything you do is governed. If you don't vote you are allowing other people to make decisions for you.

Get informed and get counted, bad things don't go away and good things don't happen if you just sit on the sideline and wish.

Answer 5

It makes you part of the norm, unfortunately. In sense, you can be blamed for what politicians do. Rather, the group that didn't vote. You didn't let your voice be heard. You didn't demand change by voting against incumbents. You didn't participate. When people don't particiapte it allows politicians to do whatever they want.

Answer 6

Hey there, yes it is a problem in not voting because we are the only ones that can change things in our country. Without our votes, congress cannot hear our voice to ask what we want. I understand that congress always do not stick to their words but at least we are still alive and that we are not going through a depression like in 1942 if I am not mistaking ,during the time of FDR,the president that saved us from the worst. Hope my answer suits you?

Answer 7

Not unless you believe that there was a honest person running for office that could change the system and not be corrupted. If there was and you didn't vote you would be a bad person. But since there are no honest people running and you didn't vote then i say you are a smart person that ain't dumb enough to waste your time.

Answer 8

Yes, I can blame you. Your non vote is an endorsement of the status quo. When you do not vote you are telling the politicans, yes I agree with what you are doing.

Answer 9

No it makes you a bad useless citizen
Should not have the right to complain but this is the USA so even cowardly non-voters can complain without having personable responsibility

Answer 10

No, unless not caring makes you bad.
Ah, but we can blame you. If you had voted, the s.o.b. would NOT have gotten elected!
If you are too lazy to learn about what different political parties believe in and what they do, then it is better that you don't vote.
I just can't imagine being like that.

Answer 11

It doesn't make you a bad person in my book, and I wish there were millions more like you. It just makes MY vote that much more powerful.
