You should always vote. Always. - Krusty Mar 15, 15:22 14
- I disagree. if someone isn't engaged, informed, doesn't get its importance, etc., I don't encourage voting. -- nm - b. Mar 15, 15:30 4
  - There are plenty of people who are engaged but not informed, and they still vote. -- nm - Roger More Mar 15, 15:36 3
    - sure, and there wasn't an "or" in there for me. I was saying what/when it is that I encourage. -- nm - b. Mar 15, 15:37 1
      - Yeah, I pressed 'post' before completing my thought. -- nm - Roger More Mar 15, 15:41
    - (So I tend to think that disengaged voters are also required to even things out a bit. But I'm from a country that has compulsory voting and things - Roger More Mar 15, 15:37
- I will vote, I will not vote for president if it's between Sanders and Trump. -- nm - Bacon Mar 15, 15:23 8
  - to what end? look at their platforms and pick. -- nm - andie Mar 15, 15:28 7
    - I hate both platforms. HATE!! I won't pick between two people that are going to send the economy into a trainwreck. - Bacon Mar 15, 15:30 2
      - alrighty, this I don't get. there are distinct differences. it's not choosing from two of the exact same. - b. Mar 15, 15:33 1
        
        They are both extremes and I like moderation. It makes perfect sense to me. -- nm - Bacon Mar 15, 15:34
    - If nothing else, vote third part as a protest but don't not vote. -- nm - ty97 Mar 15, 15:29 3
      - Okay, now you have something. I could vote for the Libertarian or Green Party. Yes I can do that -- nm - Bacon Mar 15, 15:31 1
        
        I honestly forget that there are more that two parties on every pres race. -- nm - Bacon Mar 15, 15:32
      - sure -- nm - andie Mar 15, 15:31
then Drumpf wins. -- nm - Remlik Mar 15, 15:21 9
- Oh well. -- nm - Bacon Mar 15, 15:22 8
  - you realize that the president can actually affect your own personal future? -- nm - andie Mar 15, 15:30 7
    - I will vote for president like Ty suggested. Libertarian most likely -- nm - Bacon Mar 15, 15:31 6
      - If Bernie were to be elected, worst case scenario is that he accomplishes next to nothing. He might increase some regulations, but he'll never pass - pmb Mar 15, 15:44
      - I'm all for protest votes under some circumstances; but when my vote could really make a difference, I'm not throwing it away that way. - b. Mar 15, 15:34 4
        
        But is Oregon really much of a swing state? I would not protest vote in a swing state, but I have protest voted in non-swing states. -- nm - ty97 Mar 15, 15:36 2
        
        "when my vote could really make a difference" -- nm - b. Mar 15, 15:38
        
        We are full of swingers here. Oh nm misunderstanding -- nm - Bacon Mar 15, 15:37
        
        Sanders vs. Trump, might be the year a third party wins. That is the ugliest choice in decades. -- nm - Bacon Mar 15, 15:35
