Two months and two days till November elections... who's sitting them out?

[Flying Squirrel]

Not me!

1. I'll pick and choose as always; and I have never failed to vote in any election starting in 1976.

I research every candidate carefully before granting anyone my precious vote.

[scheming daemons]

2. That implies you'll be voting for some Republicans....

...no such thing as a good one.

12. You can leave some blank if you don't approve of either candidate. nt

[slackmaster]

16. Yes, and I have done that too but very rarely

Sometimes there isn't enough information available to make a good decision.

[slackmaster]

15. It's unfortunate that you feel that way, but I personally know a few who are good people

Blind loyalty to party affiliation has no more merit than blind loyalty to candidates of one's own religion.

I've voted for Republicans on occasion in the past, and I see no reason not to do so in the future when presented with a situation where the Republican is the best candidate for an office.

That implies you'll be voting for some Republicans....

No it doesn't. This discussion is about the upcoming election this November. I haven't decided who I am going to vote for yet.

Any US citizen who is over 18 and not a convicted felon can fill out a voter registration form and check the Democratic Party box. It takes more than that to earn my vote.

3. Straight Democratic ticket in Texas

Even the gooberheads.

[JoePhilly]

18. Same here in NC

[TBF]

21. LOL @ Gooberheads -

that is what I'm faced with here in Houston too.

[Indydem]

4. Other

If the Democrats in congress don't show a progressive backbone soon, I am setting this one out.

Better to know you are getting screwed by republican shit fucks than vote for a dem and get the same treatment.

[AtomicKitten]

6. I'm voting the shit out of my ballot. Hoorah. nt

[WorseBeforeBetter]

7. I'm going to do my part to boot Richard Burr from the Senate. (n/t)

[marlakay]

8. I said straight dem ticket

but in my small town and county there are quite a few republicans running with no one against them. I leave those blank.

[CakeGrrl]

9. Straight Dem ticket. n/t

[pstokely]

10. Since most of us will be staying home, at least the line at the polls will be short for those of us

who do show up, assuming you live in Dem precicnt

[FrenchieCat]

11. Self fullfilling Prophecies do work......

especially when the media and the GOP are giving a big hand up.

[Flying Squirrel]

13. Doesn't look at all like most of us will be staying home

from these poll results anyway.

[CreekDog]

14. I may not be pleased

but I'm not stupid. :hide:

[VMI Dem]

17. Candidates will earn my vote.

[bigwillq]

19. I will be voting

Most likely a straight DEM ticket because pretty much all of the DEMS on my ballot are pretty good.

[tallahasseedem]

20. Straight Dem ticket...

I can't say what I think about those sitting out on here.

[TBF]

22. Not that it will matter on any level (I'm in the burbs of Houston),

but yeah I'll probably go pull the straight dem lever. That is if we have voting machines after the mysterious fire ...
