Most people that don’t vote, don’t cry about the outcome

Really? What planet do you live on?

The one where I don’t vote and also don’t cry about the outcome. It’s all of you that vote and don’t get your way that do the crying

This reminded me of a skit by George Carlin-
“If I vote for dishonest incompetent people and they get into office and screw everything up, then I’m responsible for it. If I, on the other hand, did not vote, then I am not responsible for the mess you created that I have nothing to do with.”
It’s a pretty nihilistic viewpoint, but I do think there’s some validity to the argument that participating in a broken system is counter intuitive in some cases.

There are many excuses for not voting. Carlin was a comic genius..right till the end.

Thank you for letting me make a vote on your behalf. I'm sure you'll agree with my choices...

Voting isn’t just a right, it’s your civic duty.

This is such a tired old way of thinking

No it’s not. Voting is what our nation was founded on. Taxation without representation was the problem, the solution is voting for people to represent you.

Voting is useless, particularly in a state that won’t entertain the idea of change

I wouldn't miss it for the world.
Even though this state is so stupid they keep electing the same party over and over, all while the economy and every benchmark of successful living continue to spiral down the toilet, I will be able to hold my head straight and say "Don't blame me"

We've had moderate Rs and Ds in the big office. Paid down debt. Lowered crime. Not sure which conspiracy line you're pushing here...but at least one party has several candidates who openly deny facts. I have a hard time with that....
I'm independent, have voted for R and D at all state levels....

All the comments here are all about “you have to vote. It’s your DUTY” and then they see you don’t agree with who THEY vote for and you get downvoted lol why vote? Just have to hope we get a democrat that improves our state
