After seeing the debates, the policies, and how the goverment is currently stacked, I've made my decision.

 

[YSOSLO]

Excellent. Now the most important step is ahead for all of us...actually going and placing our votes, because a decision without action accomplishes nothing.

 

[ZoomZoom Diva]

Agreed. No matter where you stand, you have the right and the duty to vote. If you don't vote, I don't want to hear any complaints from you.

I think people have the right to vote, but the duty to vote I'd disagree with. If someone doesn't understand politics and doesn't know who they are voting for with that vote, wouldn't you rather they didn't? Just a thought, but I know we see many organizations preaching to the young voters over these past few elections and with the age that we live in I think it's safe to say many of those votes we try and get to the polls, have no clue, and simply don't want to think about it.

Anyone else see where I'm coming from?

I see where you're coming from. However, instead of telling someone who "doesn't understand politics" to just not vote, I'd rather see that person get educated. Picking who you want to vote for isn't terribly difficult; all of the major newspapers, and numerous independent Web sites, offer "voter guides" where you simply answer a set of questions and you're matched up with candidates who share the same views as you. So for about 5 minutes of answering a few simple, multiple-choice questions, that previously undecided person at least gets some guidance.

I agree with Colin, with one caveat. If your tv is tuned to MTV for more than 1 hr per month, your vote should automatically be cast for Mickey Mouse.

Unfortunately, I have a feeling if that were the case, Mickey Mouse would end up being the longest-serving president in history.

Exactly, Colin. Part of the duty is to educate yourself, and it really takes very little to get a basic education and pick the candidate that best fits the direction you want things to go.
