Choosing not to vote isn't rebellion.....it is surrender!
If you are not eligible to vote can you still complain?However I firmly believe that if you do not vote, you do not have the right to complain.
Haven'r missed an election since I turned 18. I am 52 now so I don't see myself suddenly choosing not to vote. Too many people died so I could be able to vote. I don't plan on letting them down.
You got me there. That would extenuating circumstances. I should have specified, I mainly direct my philosophy tword those that say "why bother" or "it won't change anything" or "they are all bad". So they do not vote. But then the complain about what the politicians are doing. I see it as so long as I vote I am trying to help. If a candidate I vote for lies then I can complain if my candidate doesn't win and the elector official is a schmuck, I can complain. Because as was said, much blood has been shed for my right to vote. I will not dishonor my family and yours by not voting. Plus this is the only option for posative change at the moment. It must be used to its fullest until....If you are not eligible to vote can you still complain?
Not to start an argument, but my line of thinking is that those people died to give you the FREEDOM to CHOOSE, not just so you can vote. It may very well be futile as some here have said, but we are lucky that men have died to give us some right of freedom in our governance. We are given the right to choose to vote, or not to vote. We are not forced to voted, nor are we stopped from voting. That is the true gift our soldier have given.Haven'r missed an election since I turned 18.

There are also too many dead people voting.
I've been voting every election since 1984. A lot of absentee ballots while in the USAF, once I filled it out on the window sill of the Post Office in Iceland so I could throw it back in the mail immediately. Was a Florida resident several years (the part of Florida that is smarter than a piece of paper.) I'll be at the library Tuesday morning (voting, not reading)
