How and why the way you vote

[Captain Caveman]

There's probably as many reasons as there are voters on the way they vote. What is/are your reason(s)?

Character doesn't bother me, results and delivering does. I've never protest voted. I have only voted Left once in thirty odd years.

You can vote upto 3 reasons.

There are a significant number of voters – perhaps a majority – who don’t vote ‘for’ anyone; they vote against.

This isn’t ‘lesser of two evils voting’; rather, it’s acknowledging the nature of two-party democracies where one will rarely, if ever, encounter a candidate they completely agree with on the issues.

The exception to this, obviously, would be yes/no referenda.

Character doesn't bother you.

Sometimes you guys really do leave me speechless. Character is the only thing that matters.

The protest vote.

I voted for a dem once....Sen. Warner.

He was a damn good governor of the old dem mold so I gave him a shot.....Fuck me running if he didn't turn out to be a major disappointment.....Just another lock-step dem vote.

Never again.

Both parties are controlled by the same interests. So I don't vote.

You're giving people too much of a chance to lie. Most people are "lesser of two evils" voters. Whether they'll admit it or not.

I skipped the 2.5 elections. And have no regrets. Biden, Trump and my RINO filled midterms, none of which earned by vote.

My "other" is used when I absolutely don't care who wins the election. I'll go with my wife's choice.
