Who should vote in the US?

I think everybody in the country should vote. Twice. Three times if they're dead.

Last time I voted was for George W's first term. I was expecting the son to be more like the father. Since then, whoever it is, whatever he's done, don't blame me, I didn't vote for him.

W's father was one of the worst Presidents we ever had! His son faithfully followed in his legacy of idiocy... Oh, and if you don't vote, but can, you have no right to complain about politics.

Wow, how many times have I heard that misguided adage? Until they put in a box that says "None Of The Above" I have every right to complain, no matter who I vote for, or don't vote for.

"I don't vote because I believe if you vote, you have no right to complain. People like to twist that around, I know. They say: "Well, if you don't vote, you have no right to complain"; but where's the logic in that? If you vote and you elect dishonest, incompetent people and they get into office and screw everything up... well, you are responsible for what they have done. You caused the problem; you voted them in; you have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote, who did not vote, who in fact did not even leave the house on election day, am in no way responsible for what these people have done and have every right to complain as long as I want about the mess you created that I had nothing to do with.

You should Vote Ducimus, plenty of other options besides D and R, they wont win a majority, but if enough peeple do it......

If D or R don't have good candidate available cast write in vote (you can do so right?). Donald Duck, Fethry Duck, Gyro Gearloose, Mickey Mouse, Goofy... here are few serious candidates for ya!

The thing is, they are ALL losers. No matter who you vote for, they will be dishonest and incompetent. Aside from that, it doesn't matter who gets into office, because the special interest groups get their way anyway.

There are plenty of independant parties out there. Contrary to popular belief we do have more than two parties.

It's not the spelling. It's the knowing what the word means. "Walla" isn't even a word, unless you're visiting Washington state, and then you need to double down.

Ahem,

Walla is a sound effect imitating the murmur of a crowd in the background.
