When asked why they will not vote for a third party candidate, many people will respond by saying something like, "He cannot win." Or, "I don't want to waste my vote."

Oh, I went to the voting booth. I signed, was given my stub, and was walked over to a voting machine. I cast votes for statewide races and a state referendum on water and sewer improvements.

In 1859 they tried to fix elections a different way. On George Kyle's way to the polls he was attacked by men with knives, guns, and bricks. His brother died from attacks. He survived but didn't get to vote. When his candidate lost and he contested the election. Congress basically said a "real man" would have managed to vote. picked by 2manyusernames 2 weeks ago

Don't have a clue? Me neither.

Pick the candidate that supports the issues you support or opposes the issues you oppose -- or just be a sheep and vote for the one that your friends like. picked by Bandit 1 year ago

Should uninformed people stay away from voting? Not should they be barred from voting, but should they stay away?

The more things change, the more they stay the same is the old saying. How true that is. Among the things that won't change is America's relationship with China. Next time a candidate promises to get tough with Beijing, you may want to remind them of the trillion or so dollars that we owe them. picked by 2manyusernames 9 months ago
