Unless you’re a conspiracy theorist and believe the polls are rigged, why wouldn’t your vote count? What is a democratic election other than the sum of the individual votes that are cast?

If people write off their responsibility to shape the purpose and direction of our country, they have nobody to blame but themselves.

I don’t care if you’re a republican, a democrat, or something else…imho everyone should vote unless you truly believe the candidates are equally good or bad for the country.

In a way isn’t that what we already have? Only people with wealth can attain political leadership positions. Oh sure, there are a few that come from modest means but for the most part political power turns people into the new aristocracy.

voting without knowledge is like a 15 yr old girl that decides to have a baby . do we really need more of those types?
