... if you have already voted once?

Yes it is. Stop vote fraud.

(just adding to the ellipsis in the thread title)

Everyone should vote. Vote third party or independent. Hell, write your own name in if you'd like. There are also important state issues, like amendment one in my state to vote on.

We get the government we deserve. If you don't vote, then you can't make a good impact. And if you don't vote, then don't complain later on.


Not voting is not only wrong, it's just plain stupid!

Voting is immoral in my worldview. So it's wrong to vote...for me.

You're right, just what I was about to post.

On a Presidential election voting 3rd party is a complete waste of time. That candidate has ZERO chance of winning. Better off not wasting your time.

I didn't vote in the governor's race last night. I didn't like either candidate. It would have been wrong to vote just to say I voted, IMO.

All though, if one does not vote and still complains about government, I feel like they really can't do that.

I don't understand this thought process. If I feel that both candidates are poor choices and that they will do more harm than good, why should I vote for one of them?

I can complain all I'd like because our system is so screwed up that it only allows two choices in most cases. In most of those cases, they are two false choices at that.
