I totally agree with you on this. I'm not affiliate with any political party in general and no political preference at all. I do not like any politicians and I also do not like Obama or Romney so it's very unlikely I will vote.
By not voting, you are still actually voting. You will be part of that 537 vote shortage that results in an outcome like the one in 2000 that allowed G.W.Bush to be put into office by the Supreme court and the horrendous 8 years that followed. Don't forget, you and your family have to live under this just like everyone else. When I haven't approved of either candidate running, I have always taken the time to learn about both platforms and then voted for the candidate I felt would do the least amount of harm to the country I live in.
I totally disagree with you. Not voting means you are not voting. Voting means voting. I'm not going to vote period so it's not going to count towards the 537 votes and I"m not even registered to vote and not going to at all. Obama is not any better than Bush. Like I said, with the presidential candidates they have now, I do not like either of them and never will. What you are saying is your opinion so I will not register to vote.
Then that means you can stop your griping and complaining to others about things you don't like - you speak your "voice" by voting in an election, and then your gripes will be worth hearing and debating. Anyone who sits back and
refuses to vote, is not speaking up for their country. Everyone's voices/votes, to the best of their abilities, are needed in an election. Study the issues and their platforms/agendas, and then decide who would best guide our country in the best interest of America and its citizens. Sit back and do nothing, then don't complain.
