why is everyone telling me to vote? why should I?
Why is everyone telling me to vote? why should I?
If you vote then you can complain about how shit the government is in good conciencse
Come on, you asked this like half an hour ago
They will claim it's because they care about your right to vote, but deep down they just want you to vote for their own people.
that wasn't me. what did you tell that guy?
>You get to go outside
>You get to honor the countless people who died for you to have the right to vote
>You get to complain about politics without being a hypocrite (like said)
>You get a neat sticker
>You might meet a cute grill waiting in line
>Depending on your school/employer you can get an extended lunch/time off if you say you're voting
>Its the right thing to do
He told him to use the catalog you retarded newfag
Because you can you faggot. Reminder that there are 70 countries in the world that don't hold free elections.
Not OP. I think elections are unfair in the US. If one party wins, everyone else's votes are just ignored and they disappear? I don't like that.
That's democracy. What do you propose we do instead? It's really the best system out there
Technically, all the votes disappear after a winner is declared.
I believe that art, music, and storytelling change people and affairs, not voting.
Just vote faggot...
If you don't vote then only ignorant, radical people vote and raise your taxes or put in place people that represent their interests and not your own. Do you know how rare it is to live in a country where your voice can be heard... The problem with your rationale is when 30% of the american population stops giving a fuck we are all fucked... how hard is it to read a few proposals and pick a few candidates... you lazy fucks can't ever complain about shit if you don't vote cause you don't only harm yourselves but others and future generations... take your civic responsibility seriously faggot or come to regret the world you live in.
how can we prove our votes even do anything? they could easily lie about numbers and enact whatever they want.
Don't be cynical... Prove to me that happens otherwise vote...
How do those things get different people into office
Also those things are all just propaganda, only useful if voting is involved
Donald Trump is president.
What better proof do you need that the establishment does not have control of the votes?
lol no. OP is the one asking to be convinced here.
There are better voting systems than first past the post
Probably because you let people pressure you into shit too much.
The outcome is pretty much decided here. Break out the maxipads, because it's a red wash. Youth turnout at midterms is a fucking joke.
We already have another thread about this, go read that one instead.
And have the same actionable power as we do. Only their regimes have been proven to be able to be overthrown in coup de gras and mass rebellion. Americans have none of that plausible.
there was a ton of people from my uni voting. a TON. two hour long lines.
>if you don't vote you can't complain about who gets elected
Anyone who says this is braindead.
You don't have to vote if you don't want to OP. Besides, there are rarely any candidates worth voting for.
I didn't vote, and I don't regret anything. If you want me to vote, run a candidate worth voting for.
