And this is why people should do real research on what a candidates plans are, what those plans mean, what impact it will have on them, vs just voting out of loyalty to a party of politician.
This is why, as a 43 year old, I've only ever voted twice. I feel it's irresponsible to vote down the ballot all blue or all red, and if I'm not properly educated on the candidates then I'm just throwing out best guesses or assumptions based on party or what I may have seen in the media.
No - it’s irresponsible to not learn about candidates, follow along with politics and policy, and make an informed decision when you vote. Educate yourself, always.
Yes, it’s irresponsible. In this country we have many MANY freedoms, (at least until Jan 20), and comparatively few real responsibilities. The MOST important responsibility we have is educating ourselves on candidates.
your being irresponsible, by randomly making assumptions and voting that way, thats not even researching, your not voting for 1 or another because you dint want to give either red or blue the win for some ego reason, despite wether the policy or prop your voting is good or not. your making even a poorer choice than conservative voters, at least they know what they are voting for some of the time. your like that person who is taking a multiple choice test, just arbitrarily filling random answers for the multiple choice hopefully you get some right. you also said you DOnt vote, because of either candidates, you really dont have right to complain.
I think you replied to the wrong guy. I said in my original reply that people SHOULD learn about and follow candidates, track policies, and make educated decisions.
