There is NO FUCKING WAY I will stay home and not vote

[Stinky The Clown]

That will never happen.

What might happen, however, is I might start making some more edgy choices as to who I support.

I can also see myself voting *against* someone.

But there is simply no way I will just not vote.

1. Word. nt

[MNDemNY]

2. I have never missed an election.

Never.

[Demoiselle]

14. I've never missed an election either.

I've been a ward committee member, worked the phones, contributed all my life. I don't think I've had an unrealistic view of politics and human nature either, far from it.
But....I'm getting really tired of it all.

3. I am not worried about you and me. I am worried about the non-activist types.

[cynatnite]

4. Yep. n/t

[rudy23]

5. Even if it's to write-in "Paul Wellstone" or something, we gotta be pro-active.

I almost want to vote in Progressives to spite the Obama admin, b/c I really think they wouldn't mind losing. It would be so much easier to scuttle reform with a Republican controlled Congress.

6. agreed, 100 percent....

I ALWAYS vote. People who don't vote simply acknowledge their own powerlessness, and that is moral suicide, IMO. Each election is a call to do the right thing, however you see it.

These days I mostly vote green, and today's events have only strengthened my conviction that the democratic party no longer represents liberal ideals. There are two primary flavors of conservatism in America, democrats and republicans.

I don't support conservatives. But I still vote.

[tkmorris]

7. I won't either

But if Democrats do not seriously begin getting their collective shit together millions of others will. And we will get hammered in 2010 and 12.

[we can do it]

8. Me Too- But They Get NO MORE Money from me

PERIOD

not even CHANGE

9. Thank you.

10. Albert Einstein's definition of insanity?

Albert Einstein:

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

[chill_wind]

11. I've always been of the "if you can't even bother to vote,

how can you rightfully bitch" persuasion. I don't take that right for granted. I won't stay home. Never have.

K & R.

[LooseWilly]

12. Well, when I can't find a progressive candidate that is worth a vote...

I sometimes like to just vote for myself. :+

But, when I'm just not feeling like I'm ready to make the time commitment for an office, there's always:

[diane in sf]

13. I will vote for and fund progressives, and occasionally vote for the lesser of two evils

because as disappointing as some things have been with the Obama administration and Democratic congress I can't even imagine how bad it would be under McCain.

[HughMoran]

15. Don't vote? Don't complain about who is in office

Too many elections are decided by who shows up on elections day, not who got the majority of eligible voters.

[demosincebirth]

16. I will vote! the straight democratic ticket..

I've never known a republican that'll change my vote.

[goclark]

17. I 'm glad I don't live where " Lil Joe LIEberman lives

I've never known a Republican that could chance my vote either.

[MineralMan]

18. Yep. I have voted in every local, regional, state, and national

election since I was 21 (that's how old I am). I'll continue to do that until I die. If you don't vote, don't whine to me about what happens. I won't be listening to you.

Vote. Every time you can.

[L0oniX]

19. I'll never leave home to vote...

...because I use a mail in ballot.
