"I Don't Vote In Primaries"..........

[global1]

I was in Ohio yesterday. I talked to a lot of people and asked them if they voted yet. 6 out of 10 answered that "I don't vote in primaries".

What is the reasoning behind this thinking.

These will be the same people that will bitch later on when they don't like the nominee of the party.

A number of other people I talked to said they were Repugs and said that they were voting for HRC to mess things up.

My Friends - this is Ohio.

1. I vote in primaries

and I've yet to like the nominee I end up with.

I've known all along that this year's nominee would have nothing to do with my May 20th vote.

3. Ah, but at least you have a vote...

6. i will vote for the nominee, i don't like either one.. but i vote a straight party ticket.

8. ...

I was referring to the fact that Florida and Michigan didn't get a vote that counts. You may not like your options but you got a chance to vote. I was disenfranchised with millions of others, so don't cry too hard.

4. for years I was in a state with closed primaries

and I am not registered with any political party

So I did not vote in primaries

7. Of course that's a broad brush, but...

I've lived in NM, TX, CA, OR and now OH, and I can safely say that Ohians can be proudly apathetic about almost everything that isn't fried in batter (or football).

9. Ohio is more like this

Since the corrupt, backwards, primary system we use has traditionally placed little importance on the voice of Ohio our residents have grown apathetic towards the process.

Our voice mattered this year and people voted.

To try and spin the fact that Obama lost, when it was always obvious Obama was going to lose, is just hilarious now.
