Kucinich and Edwards voters... |
|
Why the fuck would you vote for someone NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT ?
Get it ? ...They aren't running. I want Bernie Sanders for President, should I just throw my vote away and write him in ?
Jeeeesh.

2. I'm not going to waste my time explaining |

I'll vote for who I want in the primaries; you do the same. Just leave us alone.

9. Don't vote your conscience. |
|
Vote for who you think will win. :sarcasm: It's only the primaries. Whoever has the big 'D' after their name gets my vote when it counts. (Kinda...more-or-less) ;-)

10. Because... There are serious issues out the affecting the poor and those on the margins that |
|
neither Clinton nor Obama are addressing.
You vote for the person you want to remind them that we are here and we will NOT just fall into line like happy little sheep.
We demand that issues that affect those on the periphery of society be addressed in a serious manner, not with the usual lip service that our elected officials give us.
By voting for Kucinich or Edwards, the hope is they get that message.
Because if they don't, we could be stuck with another 2000 election on our hands where people who would normally have voted Democratic go looking elsehwere for a candidate.

16. In my case it's because I see no real difference in the other two. |
|
They both SUCK!
So I'll vote for my guy and let the media, the good ol' boys in Washington, and the rest of the sheeple decide who will be the nominee.

you will make it easier for the republicans to win. if either mccain or romney win they will choose a supreme court justice that will over turn roe v wade.
Is that something you are willing to risk?

27. Because we don't really care which of the remaining candidates gets in? |

It's not rocket science... but still, don't want you to hurt yourself trying to figure it out.

Perhaps you haven't heard the concept of a protest vote? You know, where voters choose to vote for someone not on the ballot cause they don't like who else is on there?

I don't care who you are pimping but your lack of respect for the fact that we worked hard and fought for our guy who now just dropped out is not helping your cause any. A little R E S P E C T goes a LONG way in convincing people to join you and all you've done with your vulture impression here is convince me to vote Edwards in spite of his withdrawal.

and because I disregard attempts at coercion by people who are delusional enough to think they have any influence on my vote.

34. "...throw my vote away..." this is precisely the reason why we have a farce of a democracy... |
|
by default, we have to choose between dumb and dumber, and to be frank, I'm sick of it.
