Think however you want, and I disagree with anyone's decision not to vote as well, but it's getting dogpile-ish on Will here.

So I'll stand by him as a friend and a fine human being, and ask that we take it a little easier, okay?

I agree with will, if it weren't for local issues I would probably never vote in a presidential election. - dogbert183 Nov 4, 11:34 2
- But there are other candidates. Sure, Keyes and Nader and Barr and McKinney have no fucking chance in hell of winning - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 11:37 1
  - with how much I've seen him pay attention to politics, I would safely bet yes, he knows. I would rather have someone not just go through the motions - dogbert183 Nov 4, 11:44
Oh he has a right not to vote, but he should have let us know upfront to ignore his political rantings since he is "full of sound and fury..." - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 4, 11:33
Agreed. Aside from my afformentioned appreciation of direct democracy in action, if he feels there's no viable option, he shouldn't bother. - Beryllium Nov 4, 11:29
im over it already. I shall take out my frustrations with will - tRuMaN - is it over yet? Nov 4, 11:28
I'm actually glad Will decided not to vote. - znufrii Nov 4, 11:28 1
- Well, considering he wasn't going to vote Obama...I'll consider it a vote for the good guys. :) -- nm - Jim Nov 4, 11:29
agreed, and I hate TT dogpiles. -- nm - loosilu - I voted! Nov 4, 11:28 14
- for heaven's sake, why? - TFox Nov 4, 11:30 13
  - I don't like them regardless. There are a lot of people who seem to enjoy being mean for the pleasure of it. -- nm - loosilu - I voted! Nov 4, 11:30 12
    - I'm not being mean for the pleasure of it, and I resent the implication -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 11:34 2
      - I didn't name anyone, but thanks for self-identifying. -- nm - loosilu - I voted! Nov 4, 11:37 1
        
        I am not self-identifying. I am not dogpiling on him. I am having an intelligent discussion that isn't degrading into name calling -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 11:40
    - This doesn't seem like people are being mean for the pleasure of it, though. - kelly Nov 4, 11:33 5
      - didn't say they were. -- nm - loosilu - I voted! Nov 4, 11:38
      - further...if I'm one of the folks "being mean" I'm actually not trying to be. - Jim Nov 4, 11:36 2
        
        not on this topic, but you are actually really nasty to me on a consistent basis for no apparent reason. -- nm - loosilu - I voted! Nov 4, 11:39 1
        
        k -- nm - Jim Nov 4, 11:43
      - I am curious why he didn't at least vote for question #2. He seemed pretty strongly for it. -- nm - Inigo Nov 4, 11:35
    - I only enjoy being mean to *some* people for the pleasure of it. - TFox Nov 4, 11:32 2
      - oh, that's ok then. - loosilu - I voted! Nov 4, 11:34 1
        
        Well see, I generally try to wait until I decide they deserve it. -- nm - TFox Nov 4, 11:37
And c'mon, it's not like he said "I don't feel like it, so fuck it". He has a reason, whether you agree with it or not. - TFox Nov 4, 11:28 1
- His reason is bullshit. I'm not saying he's a bad human being, but I'm calling it like I see it. - musubi Voted For Change 2 weeks ago Nov 4, 11:31
I missed something, but if he's opting not to vote because he doesn't believe in either candidate, that's perfectly fine. -- nm - CQ Nov 4, 11:28 7
- But he's also not voting in any of the state, county or city elections or initiatives - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 11:29 6
  - This is true, but if he's not up to date on the local elections, no problemo -- nm - CQ Nov 4, 11:31 5
    - I think we all just think it's odd that he's spent a loosi amount of posts talking about the candidates. -- nm - Amy--I tried 3 times! Nov 4, 11:33 2
      - We have to ask if David voted for the MLB All-Stars. If not, no more talking about baseball. EVER -- nm - CQ Nov 4, 11:40 1
        
        Can anyone vote for that? Where? I'm TOTALLY voting for that. -- nm - Amy--I tried 3 times! Nov 4, 11:42
    - But it is a problem. I'm not trying to dogpile on Will. I am trying to help him see why apathy in the process is the least successful option - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 11:33 1
      - Hey, good luck with that. :) - kelly Nov 4, 11:35
I also stand by his right to choose not to vote and have the ability to bitch about the system. -- nm - JaxSean - I Voted, dammit Nov 4, 11:28
Oh..look what we have here. Looks like nubby wants some now!!! -- nm - Jim Nov 4, 11:28 1
- Get 'im! yar!! -- nm - nubby in the tower game Nov 4, 11:28
effin nubby - oblique - I voted! Nov 4, 11:27
puppy cam! -- nm - Dano voted Nov 4, 11:27 2
- I approve of that dogpile. - nubby - I voted! Nov 4, 11:27 1
  - I'm Paws Hussein McGee and I approve of this message. yip!! -- nm - Paws "Hussein" McGee Nov 4, 11:29
