Questions about voting

[dkgojackets]

1. Do you do vote most years?


2. If no, how much would your vote have to count in order for you to vote? (ex your vote counts as 50 votes)


3. If no, how much would someone have to pay you to vote? (assume no one else gets offered this)


4. If yes, how much would you be willing to pay to continue to vote? (assume it remains free for everyone else)



Just want to find out a few things.

1. Yes, I vote so I can complain. If you don't vote, don't complain.

4. $1

No offense...but these questions are ridiculous...
1. Nobody else's business...
2.......if you don't vote....and you even think of asking to get paid to vote....go ask a F#$(NG VETERAN how much you think you should get paid. My guess is FIVE as in FIVE knuckles smashing you right in your mouth.
3....and if you said yes...then you probably already realize that someone else has been paying for you already...for many many years..

If you don't want to answer you don't have to.

But it speaks greatly to the value of the right to vote in society today.

I'm most interested in the people that say no. I'm pretty sure the consensus among those of us who do is right along the lines of what pk said.

1. Every year.
2. I never would pay to vote. A free vote is my right as a law-abiding American citizen.

If you don't vote, then you're a lazy f*ck who has no right to complain one syllable about local, state and national government and policies, and politicians. You're also insulting the memory of every man and woman who has died wearing this country's uniform to keep this country free, with a hallmark of that freedom being open and free elections.

Take care,

So you'd rather someone vote for a person they don't like, someone they wouldn't want running their country, and someone whom they don't agree with any of their policies?

Would it make you feel better if those people voted for Scooby Doo?

Re: Questions about voting

I vote but I don't agree with the "if you don't vote you have no right to complain" what if each canidate is an idiot to you, vote on the lesser of two evils and who you agree with the most? If there is no one you think is worthy, why vote ? And of course you can still complain if both are not worthy in your eyes.

Re: Questions about voting

I vote in every national election. The thing is, Canada's system is so screwed up that one individual's vote doesn't mean a whole helluva lot. Still, I vote because if you don't vote you have no right to complain about government policy.

Oh and I agree with PK. I would never pay to vote because it's a right that every citizen should have.

Why not? Again, would you rather someone voted for a person they don't want in office?

There are other means to show your displeasure like a write in vote or purposely wrecking your ballot because you don't like any of the choices provided.

So someone needs to vote for Mickey Mouse or wreck their ballot to voice their opinion? I'm might be in the minority, but that makes no sense at all to me.

How does doing that compared to not voting, suddenly allow you to have a right to complain?

When you vote even if you do what I said above because you don't like the choices it gives you the right to complain because you were part of the process. At least in the US there's the primary system. If you can't find someone to like within the two parties in their primaries to vote for then there's always the option of starting a grass roots campaign for someone you truly feel for.

No system is perfect but I really like the system in place in the US.

Agreed. The whole "if you don't vote, you can't complain" argument is bull.

I will vote this year, because of Ron Paul. If he isn't on the ballot, I will either write him in or not vote at all. Every other candidate is a complete and utter tool, so they will not be getting my vote.

Obama is a tool?

Please answer in PM so as not to wreck the thread.
