How many people on here who complain about our government truly vote?

Question

I would like to know how many people who complain on here vote. I'm willing to bet that a good number of the people who complain here don't vote because they are afraid of getting jury duty....

Answer 1

I complain, and no longer vote.  I voted in national, state, local, and school elections, from 1972, until Bush ran against Gore.  I've given up voting.  I have driven voters to polls, circulated petitions, and worked on campaigns.  I've given up, and no longer bother.  Deciding which liar is less hideous isn't worth the trouble.

Answer 2

I vote every chance I get!

I also don't mind serving on a jury.  It's just the sitting a waiting and never getting on a jury is what blows.

Answer 3

I'm registered with "No Political Affiliation" myself.

It may just be my opinion, but I'm not one to believe that any "liberals" OR "conservatives" really exist anymore.

I share with you grasshopper:

Remember when you were a little kid and that one time, you were in the sandbox, there with your favorite toy, and that big bully came up and took it from you.

He put the toy behind his back, and said: "Guess which hand it's in, and I'll give it back."

No matter which hand you picked, left or right, he always pulled out and empty hand...bye bye toy!

We're done the same way with all of our civic freedoms, liberties, rights...

No matter which party we pick. "Left" or "Right."

Instead of giving our liberties and freedoms back, they only pull out a new tax, fee, surcharge, or restriction of some small, insignificant, thing, that just adds yet another straw on the camels back.

DO WE REALLY NEED TO ELECT ANOTHER LAWYER?

Answer 4

when all us military absentee voters got discounted by the Democrats

Answer 5

I have not missed voting in any general, special or primary election since first becoming eligible to vote in 1960. Only half of those eligible to vote in the U.S. are even registered.

During H. Ross Perot's Presidential campaign in 1992, the "voluntarily disenfranchised" got registered and turned out to vote. That fact scared the professional campaign staffers of the two major parties because there was no voting history on those folks, so they couldn't be tracked and put into different voting blocs.

Answer 6

THE ONLY ONES WHO VOTE HAVE THE RIGHT TO COMPLAIN...

I'M ONE OF THEM....

Answer 7

Most of them dont vote because they are children.

Answer 8

I vote.  I definitely am old enough...

I complain about the Government because it is all I can do.  I do not have the millions of dollars to get anyone to listen to me.

Answer 9

Bush vs Kerry. And people should go out to vote? What's the point in that? That was my last choice. Nixon vs the Hump, that was my first. I don't know about you, but I'm ready to quit. Rudy vs Hillary - I'm not going to bother. Let them serve without the consent of the people.

Answer 10

I both complain and vote.   Voting is how I let my elected officials know how I feel

Answer 11

I vote. and I complain... and it is my right.  But I agree, if I could not even bother to find out about the issues or the problems and did not vote.. then I should shut up!

Answer 12

Good question. I don't know about here but only about 1/3 of the people I know actually vote. I do vote. It is not just my right as a citizen, I truly believe that it is a duty. Those who do not vote seem to complain most.  I even know a couple who are PROUD that they have never registered to vote. Of course they wouldn't complain if we lived in a country where we were not allowed to vote. They would be afraid too.

Answer 13

I don't complain, really...

I just state that voting is dumb because it is all a lie.

Presidents are determined by the boardroom.

Answer 14

My personal belief is if you don't vote you don't have the right to complain.  Although, I have to admit   I like Yeehaw's response. He gave you a good analogy.
