Did you lose faith in the american voting system after bush and will not bother voting anymore?

Question

If so, or not, let me know your thoughts. I, myself never bothered to begin with.

Answer 1

I always vote, every election. Whether the people I support win or lose, I will always continue to vote. Its a privilege that we often take for granted. There are people in other countries willing to take up arms just to fight for the right to cast a vote.

Had the other 40% or so of Americans voted in the last General Election, there may not have been an issue. That is a large chunk of the population, and could have made the vote more decisive, one way or the other.

Answer 2

I am not in the least worried or have I lost faith in the American voting system, right now. If Hillary wins in 08, then is the time to not only lose faith in the system, but also question how really educated about all candidates the US citizens really are. Also be prepared to have socialism cram down our throats, if she is elected , she will do what she wants and we will all pay in more ways than we can ever imagine.

Answer 3

Nope, the voting system did what it was suppose to do. While many people dislike Bush with a passion, if you ask around he still has many supporters and people who voted for him just because they hated the other guy (whether they like Bush or not). I think that not bothering to vote just because you don't like the results is kind of stupid. If you don't like something you try to change it; you don't just sit on your butt and complain all day about the state of the world. On the other hand, if you don't really care or have no idea what you are voting on, I think it is better for you to just not vote at all.

Answer 4

Frankly, omit, i'm very much shocked which you at the instant are not extra effective stated as to the present political situation right here in the U. S.. in the beginning, our votes are counted by making use of digital machines without paper path, so there is incredibly no reason to have faith that the election outcomes would be valid, till my fellow voters get off their a$$es and insist valid elections! So whoever gets elected, or despite occurs concerning the U. S., you could blame some individuals for their inactiveness or their lack of information, yet do no longer blame us for our votes. As Stalin suggested, it is not who votes that counts, that is who's counting the votes. yet do no longer concern, our next president became into already desperate upon on the main up-tp-date Bilderberg assembly, and so some distance we've seen each and every indication that they have chosen Obama. McCain isn't meant to win. he's extremely like the rest room "cranium n Bones" Kerry of the 2008 election. no count if or no longer he knows it now, he's been set as much as take a dive! Mark my words...

Answer 5

The voting system, all in all, is very accurate considering the massive amount of votes to be counted in a short period of time. Why would someone "lose faith" in the voting system due to Bush? He won the election because he received enough votes to win.

Answer 6

No, why would I? Clinton won twice without a majority of the popular vote and I did not lose faith then.

Answer 7

THE COUNTRY IS STRONGER THAN ANY ONE MAN OR WOMAN, people tend to forget that being bombarded like we are with a half hour worth of news for 24 hours a day

i will always vote , they might not always win but i can always find some one worth voting for.

but i also look beyond R's and D's

Answer 8

If you dont vote, then you have no reason to complain when someone you dont like gets into office. If you are too apathetic and lazy to help make the decisions for this country, then you are stuck with what the rest of us decide.

Answer 9

I have voted ever Presidential Election since 1976.
I will continue to vote Every Presidential Election until I die.

Answer 10

OK, well, I do, vote & I think you are a lazy hound who should lose that option and be confined to base on voting days.

Would you care to invade our country, shoot or torture a few valued people in your spare time, or starve the remainder out of voting? Perhaps you'd like to see your tried and tested legal system printed in books? Or perhaps you'd care to see the death sentence prescribed for those who are found in possession of such books?

Do you think your laziness is impressive to citizens of countries who have already lost loved ones in this way?

I believe that free speech does matter long term, and it's far better to vote than to sabotage lives or engage in terrorism. But in a democracy, I suppose people can afford a few lazy non-voters. My great-grandfather was dragged out from his farm and beaten up to deny him that choice.

You have the right not to vote, I suppose. But I'd regard that as an extreme luxury. I see regular voting, like regular blood donation, & jury duty as a civic luxury. Part of being a citizen of a country I choose to live in. I wouldn't care to rely on your brand of faith. For better, but not for worse? I can see how strongly you hope to debate this by your choice of a language. Easier than another, isn't it? What if you were shunned for speaking your own language, in any country?

For better or worse, people are who they are, and for their own reasons. I just cannot take my nation's hard-earned constitution so much for granted that I would sit on my **** and watch TV reports of how other lands are coping without water or civil rights or internet access or food and think heck, I'm their example of how to get beyond this to a better future.
By not voting. By not donating blood. By sulking in a corner and keeping my thoughts to myself.
Good for you. You haven't kept your thoughts to yourself.
