To Vote or Not to Vote? - Comments

@ strigoi.
Seriously though. I am so done with hearing about it. 3 more days till it's over with lmao. I know that according to the polls, it's a pretty tight race. The outcome is going to be interesting.

There's a Poll Tracker and it's basically neck and neck at this point.

This actress I follow on Twitter said something that really resonated with me. She said that if you refuse to choose between the "less of two evils", you'll end up with "the greater evil." It was said in regards to this election.

I really like that! It makes a lot of sense.

I was already going to vote, but reading the comments on this blog made things that much more clear. This whole situation just sucks. I'm tired of seeing all the commercials already and I can't wait for Tuesday so we can vote and have it be over with, ya know? I mean, not only are we seeing commercials for the Presidency, but we've also got commercials for congressional candidates and state representatives and it's like ahhhh stopppp lol. I'm super anxious about what the outcome will be, but I'm really hoping it's the best one.

Thanks for all the comments you guys. I'm glad I came to mibba for this. I will be voting Tuesday!

@ aliens.
I completely agree. I would not want to be in a room with Donald. (Not going to call him by his last name, not giving him that satisfaction-)

being a woman, and knowing what the suffragget movement did so I can vote, I feel like its my right and my priviledge to do so. Ok, its true I'm not stuck with bad choices like trump and clinton, but... I must say I sincerly hope we wont be seeing a wall going up across that ocean

@ aliens.
no worries, you're fine. I'm going to vote on tuesday? I think that's the 8th. I certainly get what your saying.

(and please don't take my comment the wrong way. i'm not trying to be mean, i'm trying to be real, you know? Your vote is important.)

I'm just going to say what my friend has been saying on Facebook: If you don't vote, you don't get to complain with whomever gets elected. It's not the 'lesser of two evils'. Trump is horrible. All the progress people that aren't male, rich, and white have made will get taken away. Imagine The Purge and movies like it. That could happen with Trump in office.

Has Hillary done shitty stuff? Yes, but so has everyone. No one in this world is completely innocent. But I would rather have someone that I'd feel safe around if we were locked in a room together in office than a sexist, racist, homophobic swine like Trump.

Totally agree. And I'm a victim of multiple accounts of sexual assault, and I for one do not want a president who thinks it's just "locker room talk"

@ love-like-oharris
I completly agree. If trump becomes President, we're basically doomed. He's got his minions and good for him. But I don't support him and never will. It is never okay to say that about women.

This guy that comes into my moms work supports Trump. Said straight to my face that the only way to make a guy straight again is cut of his Y'know... and that god created Adam and eve, not Adam and Steve. He said straight up that you can go ahead and grab a girls pussy, that it's okay.

He straight out told my mom that she couldn't be democratic.

And this is why most not all straight men suck. Not trying to bash, just trying to say that if we get Donald as a president it's not going to go good. But that's my opinion.

@ shego.
I've decided to vote. I'm gonna go for Hillary. I also refuse to vote for Trump. He disgusts me. And I doubt he's gonna go down without a fight. I remember him saying that he isn't going to accept the results if he loses. So it could be interesting.

I agree with the others. I'm not going to tell you, or anyone else, who to vote for, but I'm voting for Hilary because she's not likely to drop a nuke on someone because she didn't like what someone said about her (on Twitter).

Also, I cannot support someone that brags about and thinks it's okay to brag about sexually assaulting women. As someone who has been, I just can't stomach the thought of voting for someone like that.

But I do understand why you didn't want to vote earlier. This election is horrible. (I'm not too excited for all of the candidates we have at the state-level either.) But I'm glad you're thinking about voting! Tuesday isn't too far away, and soon this election will finally be over. (Hopefully. I know if Trump loses he's probably not going to go down quietly, I know his followers aren't.)

@ love-like-oharris
No!! of course not. I didn't wanna make it seem like I was voting for Trump either because no way. I would never vote someone that has zero respect for Women. And you're right. She's a lot more respectful than he is.

@ Queen of the Clouds
You're right. I think I will vote. And yes, there are other people to vote for as well. Thanks for your thoughts!!

@ Gronk
I'm glad you didn't take my comment the wrong way. Yes, Hilary isn't good, but at least she's not saying the shit Donald is saying.

Even though I'm not an American, I agree with what's already been said below. Your vote is important and you will be helping decide the future of your country, as well as the world. Besides, aren't there other people you can vote for? Sure, the race seems to be mainly between two parties, as it is over here, but I know of people who vote for other parties essentially just to spite the main two because they don't like either option.

@ smile kailyn
Yeah that makes sense! I'm probably going to vote. I just was all iffy about today for some reason. Thanks for your thoughts. That really helps me a lot!

@ love-like-oharris
I won't vote for him either. He's got no respect for women at all. what makes me laugh is how his wife wants to stop cyberbullying if she becomes first lady but her husband is the biggest bully of them all.

Well, this is my opinion.

I am not voting for a man who thinks it's alright to say he can get away with grabbing a woman by the pussy. But that's just me.

I say it's your choice to vote for whoever you want.

This actress I follow on Twitter said something that really resonated with me. She said that if you refuse to choose between the "less of two evils", you'll end up with "the greater evil." It was said in regards to this election.

Personally, I think this is the best time to vote. This is not the year to protest the two-party system (which is completely fucked).

Whether or not you vote Democratic or Republican is irrelevant. It's not my place to tell you which one I think is the "lesser of two evils," but I myself voted already (early voting is finally a thing in Massachusetts) and voted for Clinton.

Even if the two-party system is total BS and the system itself is a mess, I do think it's a citizen's right to vote. Whether or not you decide to practice that right is your choice, but I do think you should. Like, the thing keeping this country from getting even WORSE is the fact that we have some degree of a choice of who is the president.

Long story short...I think you should vote. I personally think that if you don't vote, you don't have much of a right to complain about what happens to the country during that president's term. Even if the one you voted for didn't win, at least you tried, you know?
