I'll say this much: I'm pissed I ever argued with someone who has abrogated their right to have an opinion on presidential politics.

If you sit on the sidelines for the vote, you don't get to have an opinion when things aren't to your liking.

this is my thought, too. anytime he ever complains about politics again, I'm calling bullshit. - all the candidates loves mandy lane Nov 4, 10:46 3

It's his choice not to vote, and his one vote really doesn't change anything. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 4, 10:38 18

- Voting is never about *one* vote. But every one vote adds to the whole that makes a difference. My contribution to kelly's fundraising didn't make a - oblique - I voted! Nov 4, 10:39 9
  - But this discussion is about *his* one vote. It's not going to make a difference. - JaxSean - I Voted, dammit Nov 4, 10:47 7
    - But he loses the right to complain about how elections are run or turn out or anything about politicians - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 10:49 6
      - I missed the first amendment where that clause is in it. You'll need to point it out to me. - Will Hunting Nov 4, 10:54 1
        
        It's not a law. It's common sense. You refuse to participate in elections, you are saying your voice does not matter - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 10:57
      - Yes he does. But that doesn't mean we can't still give him shit for bitching. -- nm - JaxSean - I Voted, dammit Nov 4, 10:52
      - I don't necessarily agree on this point. I shouldn't have to move to Alaska and vote every time in order to bitch about people like Ted Stevens. -- nm - Max Nov 4, 10:51 2

- Well thak the ever loving Maker that not everyone feels that way. Every vote matters. Every voice matters. Your vote *is* your voice. -- nm - TWuG Nov 4, 10:39 5
  - My voice is my voice. My vote is my word of support. I don't support any one running. - Will Hunting Nov 4, 10:49 4
    - None of your local representatives? That's on crack. -- nm - Amy--I tried 3 times! Nov 4, 10:54 1
      - Maybe what Will needs to do is run for office. Become part of the solution -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 10:58
    - not one person, in any of the races for anything? did you actually read every person's platform on every issue? -- nm - Andie Nov 4, 10:50 1
