This! OP's attitude about voting, or not voting, is one reason we end up looking like spoiled brats to the rest of the world. Think of the folks elsewhere who wish they even had the right! To throw this right away? Never.

Then President Obama would grin and say/chant, "Hey, I guess that means, FOUR MORE YEARS, FOUR MORE YEARS, FOUR MORE YEARS.". Either that or we'd end up with Green Party candidate Jill Stein as President.

Hillary doesn't suck. She's one smart, tough lady, which is, of course, why the Right hates and has hated her for decades.

Whether you vote or not is entirely your business. That you act like you're leading some great cause by announcing that you're not voting seems pretty odd to me, but then I have a life away from my computer/tablet/smart phone.

This may come as news to you, but some of us don't treat the right to vote as cavalierly as you do.

That's probably gonna end up happening regardless of who wins. Racial tensions in this country are the worst I have seen in a long time, and if Obama can't improve that, then Hillary definitely can't.

Same goes with Trump, obviously. Both are dividers.

I don't see the point in voting period the system is fixed anyhow. I knew that Sanders didn't stand a chance with the way the system is now.


Hillary is going to win & like with Trump we're screwed either way.

Been saying it for months on this board.

As someone who voted for Bernie in the primaries. I am interested to see if this latest wiki leak debacle will move some to throw their hands up in the air , say "faq this", and just walk away from this election.
