Do you want to hear a good response to that whole, "If you don't vote, you can't complain" phrase?

It's your choice.

Yeah, that certainly is the coward's way out. Why not a write in candidate? Do you know you dont just vote for president during an election? Apparently not. It doesnt take pages just to pick a president you know. And heres teh thing: you can go vote WITHOUT choosing a presidential candidate to vote for. Just don't fill in the "party line" option and actually read the entire ballot. I do. Ive been doing that since i was 18, the first year i voted.

If you wanna whine about the presidency, fine. But why are you depriving your local community of the things voted for at the same time as the presidency? I mean, its up to you of course. It just seems wholly irresponsible and kinda mean if you think about it.

It is still your choice, whether to use your democratic (and long fought for) right and vote for a party. You can still vote informal too ... Your choice, and an easy cop out then, to say ... " well I didn't vote them in" ... Like the majority seem to after every election.....

If you don't like your choices you can always put yourself up for others - perhaps you would be more popular than the parties already doing so.

Your response clearly indicates how ignorant you really are.
