Can someone point me to all the threads where people are saying they won't vote?
Apparently there are lots of them because I'm seeing lots of threads where people are being admonished for just that. I've seen people saying they won't vote for certain Dems, won't vote for people who don't stand for the same values they have, but I haven't seen the ones where people are saying they won't vote at all. Thanks!

24. Hmmm...The poster is implying it. That's a nice way of
hedging one's bets, no?

26. My original response is that there are "threads" not simply posts, of which threads
are comprised. There are quite a few threads that people started in reaction to something, like someone saying there was no point in voting...they're calling them out over it...where did they find those threads...or are they just assuming that people who are fed up with Obama aren't going to vote at all?

28. So you need an OP in order for it to be legitimate?

Never mind.

8. Thanks, but, no...this is a thread started by people apparently in response
to people saying they're not voting...I never saw those threads that started this cl**terfuck, unless the OP can read minds.

9. Just because you didn't see them doesn't mean they never existed
I looked for one on which I alerted yesterday, and it's gone now. I don't care whether you believe it or not, as I know what I saw.

12. Read the thread. I'm not gonna call out any members here. You wanted
to see the threads where folks are saying they're not gonna vote, well this is one of them. The rest is up to you. If you don't care to read, that's your problem.

17. The thread was started calling out people who said they weren't voting...
...where are those threads that this thread is a response to? I read, you're not bothering to read what i wrote, and that, apparently is your problem.

23. Fine. Don't read the thread that has folks saying they won't vote.
No skin off my nose. But it makes you look pretty silly, having asked for examples and then not bothering to read ones supplied to you. :shrug:

25. Threads are the entire postings...you're showing individual posts...
...sorry, but you look pretty sily and very defensive...but hey, if it makes you happy and feel surperior, go for it sweetie.

31. Threads are the entire postings? WTF? And, no, I'm NOT linking to specific individuals
posting in those threads for you. I think that would be a call-out. And as far as I'm concerned folks have the right to vote or not to vote as they see fit.

All I did was answer the question you posed. You did not ask to be shown OPs that told people not to vote. You asked to be shown the THREADS in which folks are saying they won't vote.

29. My point as well. I mean WTF!!??

Does the dissenting non-vote post have to exist in its own OP?

I smell bullshit.

30. And he did say to show him the "threads" with folks saying they won't vote.
I'm certainly not going to link to specific posts within those threads. I think that would be a call-out, for one thing. For another, folks have every right not to vote if they so choose.

15. When did voting become obligatory?
I always vote, even if I have to write someone in, but, if I should choose not to, what business is it of anyone?

20. You just want President Sarah Palin.
That's the comeback for any post today that doesn't adhere to the talking point.

21. I figure Palin ain't so bad...she'll quit after two years...
Yes, that's sarcasm about her not being so bad...just wanted to get in the jab.

35. 'Mandated voting'. Some countries have it I think.
Here we don't, but I think there are a few people who would like it. Remember when Saddam Hussein used to get 100% of the vote? If that could be arranged by some on the left AND the right, I think they'd support it.

Meantime it is no one else's business what someone decides to do with their vote, at least not for now.
