and not contributing to society with our most important right

2018-10-19 18:37:24 UTC  

It was none, and what did you shift the conversation to?

2018-10-19 18:37:33 UTC  

Who is talking about Stein or Johnson right now?

2018-10-19 18:37:49 UTC  

you are

2018-10-19 18:38:17 UTC  

i was just using as a example of how to contirbute to voting

2018-10-19 18:38:47 UTC  

my cousin wrote down harambe becuase he didnt like either canidates

2018-10-19 18:38:53 UTC  

but he still voted

2018-10-19 18:39:24 UTC  

That's not a vote

2018-10-19 18:39:34 UTC  

And nobody looks at those, they just get put in a pile

2018-10-19 18:39:41 UTC  

Ignored like non votes

2018-10-19 18:40:02 UTC  

At best you'll get some buzzfeed shit

2018-10-19 18:40:15 UTC  

better then sittting on your ass at home and not voting at all lol

2018-10-19 18:40:25 UTC  

You've failed to explain how

2018-10-19 18:40:30 UTC  

You've just held it as self evident

2018-10-19 18:40:41 UTC  

btw 30 thousand people voted that way

2018-10-19 18:41:09 UTC  

And it makes no difference that they did

2018-10-19 18:41:47 UTC  

It has almost the exact same effect as not voting

2018-10-19 18:41:58 UTC  

and you i have provided plenty you just dont want to hear becuase im guessing you are one of those people who doesnt vote

2018-10-19 18:42:11 UTC  

No, you've just said it's the only way to change things

2018-10-19 18:42:23 UTC  

And then when asked what you changed you backed up to "well at least I voted"

2018-10-19 18:42:54 UTC  

becuase who you vote for puts the changes in place

2018-10-19 18:43:09 UTC  

No, who gets the majority of votes does, and only if they're on the ballot

2018-10-19 18:43:23 UTC  

But you defended spoiled ballots, and losing votes, which don't do that

2018-10-19 18:43:59 UTC  

becuase you are still contributing to the voting process

2018-10-19 18:44:46 UTC  

What does voting for Harambe contribute?

2018-10-19 18:45:16 UTC  

becuase that shows you dont support either canidayes

2018-10-19 18:45:21 UTC  

The argument is 'You don;t have a right to complain if you don't vote'. I disagree, if you are so frustrated with politics that you can't find a single party to vote for that means that their is no one out there that you think is willing to act in your interest and you can complain about that.
Voting third party is a better way of showing your frustration than not voting as you can't be distinguished from someone that doesn't care.
You have a right to complain coz it is the parties fault for not engaging enough with the populous.

2018-10-19 18:45:26 UTC  

No it just shows you spoiled a ballot

2018-10-19 18:45:43 UTC  

no you said make a stand

2018-10-19 18:45:45 UTC  

Just like not voting just shows you didn't vote

2018-10-19 18:45:59 UTC  

Both can mean that you disapprove of the available candidates

2018-10-19 18:46:01 UTC  

no it shows lazyness

2018-10-19 18:46:13 UTC  

So does picking the first name on a list

2018-10-19 18:46:19 UTC  

But you defended that because it's voting

2018-10-19 18:46:34 UTC  

how is it lazy

2018-10-19 18:46:38 UTC  

So going somewhere to mindlessly check a box is fine, that's not lazy?

2018-10-19 18:46:39 UTC  

to vote

2018-10-19 18:46:49 UTC  

Because you didn't put any thought into it

2018-10-19 18:47:13 UTC  

i did i didnt want either in office so i put my vote there

2018-10-19 18:47:22 UTC  

thats the point
