yes, but sadly we have to choose a lesser of 2 evils every 4 years.

Registered Republican who voted Badnarik in the last 2 elections..will likely vote for Obama this election.

I really don't see the point in voting for the lesser of 2 evils.

Problem is this election I don't think there IS a lesser.

Do you have to register as a specific party supporter to register as a voter in the US?

In Canada, we simply register as a voter, and do not have to reveal any party affiliation.

In some states you have to register a party but this does not mean you are restricted to voting on candidates in that party during a general election.

In alot of states it means you have to vote for the party in the primaries though, which guarantees that you will never see a moderate.

So vote for a third party. At the very least it will send a message if enough of us vote third party (and in some cases, keep them on the ballots!)

That flame suit isn't going to protect you from the BFG 9000 I'm going to use on you for bringing RP to the thread

I probably will.

Maybe I should write-in Pat Paulson

Umm, my post wasn't about cynicism. It was agreeing with matt on the importance of being an educated voter.

My argument is that regardless of cynical views of American voters/citizens as being (willfully or no) uneducated boors, at least for this forum of generally literate, generally technically savvy people they can educate themselves and make an informed choice.

So my original point stands: register to vote!

Can educate themselves is a hell of a lot different than do educate themselves.

If you can educate yourself but don't, then for heaven's sake, don't vote.

which candidate believes it should be cheesepie? They get my vote.

You don't have to choose anybody. You can slide a blank ballot into the box. That way your age, sex, race, etc... will show up and it will show you voted. This will help if you ever need to write your rep.

I don't vote because my singular vote will never make any difference in any election, ever. So why waste my time.

And don't tell me "what if everyone else felt the same way." I can't control how anyone else feels or what they do so it is irrelevant to my reason for not voting.

I'm voting for "None of the above". I don't think there's anyone on the ballot that's actually capable of being commander in chief.

Maybe I'll write in Chuck Norris.

Enlighten me, what about your life experience/knowledge led you to this conclusion?

If you're speaking to the OP of the quote. Great. If me, forget about it. Waste of time. Entirely.

people should not be voting for the sake of voting

North Dakota is great because they don't make you jump through hoops to vote. You just show up on election day and vote.

 

[darkxshade]

I'd sooner register another AT account to vote on the pie vs cake thread than to give either of the presidential candidates an upper hand. I want no part in this terms elections.

 

[AstroManLuca]

Mailed in my registration form today. I was already registered but I have a different address now.

Someone needs to download that video and splice a Rick Roll about 20 seconds in, re-upload to Youtube for the lulz.

 

[sactoking]

Already registered. I live in a swing state. I refuse to choose between a douche and a turd. My vote is available for purchase.
