So Kasich's vote for president was rejected from all counts. McCain was not registered as a candidate and not registered for presidential runoff. It would not count if McCain was registered but for VP, or dog catcher, even.
So go ahead and take that knee and stick to your write-in argument.
Better he does that, has his vote negated, and then publically vilifies (sp??) the laws in his state. I would bet his followers could live with that.

I don't like Stephen A Smith, but I 100% agree with him here. Whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, it doesn't matter. If you feel like there is injustice, get out and try to make a difference without bashing everyone that disagrees with you.

Many states do NOT allow or recognize, by law, a write in that is not registered with the election commission.
Some talking heads were going over this with how Kasich wrote in McCain and was publicizing it. Ohio is one of the states where write-ins must: 1) be registered as official candidates and 2) for the specific office.

You're absolutely right. Also though, the deciding factor to KK on what makes this country great is apparently treatment of Black men by police officers. I'm %100 sure that the most effective way to change local policy regarding the police treatment is through mayoral, city council, Police chief, and Sheriff elections. All of which he chose not to participate in as he spends the next few sundays telling all of us how wrong this country is to him...

Agreed. It is your right to vote. You don't have to do it.

You do if you want to be a respected activist. If you don't care to have people take you seriously, then no, you don't have to. Obviously he doesn't care. Which is his right. He just happens to be a hypocritical arse hole for choosing as such. But that too is his right.

Except Kasich did NOT do that. As far as the record shows He, Kasich, the governor and career politician dating back to Watergate/Nixon, is still ignorant of the requirements of his home state write-in laws. In his mind he voted for president and has not spoken against the write-in law (or at least not publicized that, someone may have educated without showing it on MSM).

I don't know Kaep's reasons, but if he didn't feel like anyone was worth of the position, I don't see the issue with not voting.
So very typical of you.

The argument is not voting or not voting, the hypocrisy is that he wanted/protested for social change, and not do the most basic right that will bring about those changes.
To make it easier for you, it is like supporting PETA, protesting for PETA, and still wearing leather shoes with genuine ivory buckles...

Or finding out your priest/preacher/etc. is sleeping with a church member's wife.

I usually don't defend Kaep but he lives in pinkoland. None of the elections there are remotely competitive. So if he's not inspired by anyone it's a lot easier to stay home, as opposed to living somewhere with a competitive election where you would at least be blocking the lesser of two evils.
For down ballot races, Kamala Harris is a tPOS who railroaded innocent defendants when she was the district attorney in Dan Francisco. Jackie Speier and Nancy Pelosi don't care about anyone except the uber rich. If I lived in the Bay Area I would probably show up just to vote Sanchez and a third party House member. But I can understand why he stayed home, and a "Screw all of them" position is a valid protest.

With that attitude we'd still be a British colony.

Exactly. Not to mention incorrect. You don't know what city he lives in. And the fastest way to exact change in your local police department is in a local election. People making excuses for KK are mind blowing. I am grateful he isn't a spokesman for anything I need changed.

What are you people advocating? Don't vote until the perfect candidate is on the ballot?!
Well guess what, you'll be waiting a loooooong arse time.
If an American citizen decides that there is no Presidential candidate that represents them, they have every right to forgo voting for one. They have no right to complain about the results, though. You're not required to accept options you detest just to have picked one.
I refused to give any of the candidates in this Presidential election my vote to further their cause. Any two other candidates, and I'd have likely chosen one. This time, though, I couldn't. However, I also have no right to complain about the outcome or results.
It's shameful, though, to not vote down ticket. That is something you have a direct effect on that will impact your daily life. Not showing up at all, though, especially while "taking a stand" is downright next-level hypocrisy.

There's literally zero way you can walk your way out of that one, so you play it off, ignore it, and say you don't want to talk about it any more.

You're just doubling down on it, and it's hilarious to watch it play out. It's ok to admit you were wrong.

I find it equally laugh out loud funny that you posted in an anchored thread a day later to pat yourself on the back, and you somehow think that's validated you.

I'm sure if Blandino came out the next day and said it should have been roughing the kicker, you NEVER would have mentioned that to me that I was wrong, right?
