Answer 1

Ya got one running for president.

Answer 2

Dude..Hippies were those who thought that "tune in, turn on and and drop out" was the path to take..young people with no direction....Hippies never voted, they were confused by liberal rhetoric.  Idealistic but without logic or direction.  Much like the modern day democrat.

Answer 3

You're about three decades off.

Answer 4

The only hippy I can think of offhand is Barack Obama's mother, and she is dead.  Nevertheless, I think she (along with a lot of other dead people) voted in Cook County for Obama in the Illinois primary.

Answer 5

I've been a hippie for most of my life but I'm a woman and the reason I vote is because women used to not be allowed to vote.  I think if you have the right to do something, you should do it.

Answer 6

Hippies stand for nothing, but with a lot of griping and protesting. They "stand" for anything that they think will make them sound hip.

Hippies are spoiled rich kids who don't have to fend for themselves because their parents will take care of them until the end of college,  all the while complaining that the government has too much power. Then after they graduate, they become liberals and large-government advocates pushing for socialism so they don't have to take care of themselves. They contradict themselves and get lost in their own dichotomy.

I suppose a true hippie would not vote, though. A real ascetic hippie would live in the woods by himself (or if a feminist hippie, "herself"), growing all his food, and wearing self-made clothes because anything else would be corporate made. They would generally be against voting, although only when they don't really care who is running.

In the end, hippies are all fake.

Answer 7

Have observed a sticker on a truck with a picture of a hippy being chopped in two or the words saying ''Hippies should all be chopped in half with a chainsaw''.  Hippies at one time were concerned with the idea of selling out they wanted to change the Government and abolish war. Hippies would have been okay with The Environmentalist Movement if it had happened at the time. Hippies might have voted for The Green Party. Hippies were all about ''Are you afraid of a flower''. That was the Green Movement then. To move on an issue is not a bad thing it does not necessarily involve violence but sometimes Governments thought it did. To expand further on the subject long before  hippies were even around The Immigration Service in The U.S. held members of The Progressive Concervative Party from Canada in The U.S. because they thought Progressive might mean Communist .  The Party members had gone to Cuba as a lark for the fun of it at the time Castro had just taken over.

Answer 8

unfortunately there are these convenient one-word labels,

like Hippie, or Democrat or Republican or anything at all .....

And its really a crock!  I'm an old "survivor of the 60's"

aging decyple of Mario Savio and I believe in a LOT of the things that are supposed to be rabid right-wing, but then again I believe in some social justice issues that could get me labeled a "Liberal"

ew yuck, liberals!

in short, those one-word labels are useless!

A lot of people who identified themselves as HIPPIES years ago would not touch that label at all now.

The Labels are bogus!

Answer 9

Hippies vote for Republicans because they are so high on pot that they think the war on drugs is to liberate them for free consumption.

Answer 10

After the end of our conflict in south east asia, the hippies lost their "mascot" & their mantra of ..."war, h**l no, I won't go" lost steam.

Then they simply finished their degrees in poly sci, trimmed their hair & went into politics as a career.  Yes, they did vote & were instrumental in getting the voting age dropped from 21 down to 18 years of age.
