If you do not plan to vote because of some perceived moral issue about a candidate....

or you don't like any of the candidates, then you have no right to complain about the outcome. You should pick the lesser of two evils. You will never get 100% of what you want, but you should have more in common with one candidate over the other. If you still decide to skip the election, then

This present day, low information, emotional electorate will lose the Republic.

It’s inevitable.

It's too important and the consequences too great to sit on your arse and pout because the Christian Coalition Candidate isn't in the General Election. Morals be dammed, it's not an excuse

I am abstaining on the school board member vote. It’s a crazy Marxist democrat versus another crazy Marxist.

I don’t give a single frick about either party. There will never come a time when I vote for a Democrat. Ever.

But, Republicans are going to kill this country just like Democrats will… albeit somewhat slower.

If Republicans want my vote they’ll nominate Conservatives instead of primarying them.

Put a Conservative on the ballot and I’ll vote for him, but the days of just voting straight Republican are long gone.

frick that, “Lesser-of-two-evils,” bullshite. That’s how you end up with Thunes and Cornyns.

Pinch your nose, if you need to, and vote for the GOP.

Remember, Republicans may not be the answer to all of your problems, but Democrats are most certainly the cause.

By not voting for the lesser of two evils is also how you end up with Ossof, Warner, El Sayed, and Talirico just for starters.

Think in your mind the precise candidate that you would agree with 100%, Then wake up. It was just a dream. It's not going to happen. The smarter people work in the private sector.

The days of Dems and Pubs agreeing on alot of stuff and basically arguing about tax policy or whether to spend on the social safety net instead of defense spending are long gone.

However a not insignificant number of especially republican voters seem to think thats still the current reality and that dems getting elected wont really matter because theyve been elected in the past and it wasnt the end of the world.

Meanwhile current dems are running on open borders, hating jews, hating America in general, loving Muslim terrorists, abolishing the senate, packing the supreme court, adding a bunch of states, arresting anyone who works for a republican politician, pro political assassinations, pro infanticide, pro men in womens spaces, and a whole lot of other things that absolutely zero Democrats trying to get elected would have dared utter even a decade ago.

So, yeah, theres gonna be a price to pay for staying home as these arent your parents Democrats

and one term of Talarico is how you get rid of trash like Cornyn, and get someone who puts Americans before his donors.

The choice often comes down to the lesser of two evils, ignoring that is truly dumb and what leads to all the morons clomping together in party-colored teams to declare their team saintly and the other team in need of killing.

What do y'all do when your ballot has an unopposed Dem listed? usually some district court. I assume leave it blank? I do. How does this happen, by the way?

This is the system we have and it's worked so far, albeit not always great. If you don't like choices, the Democrats will make that for you. The left wing would love to get rid of this Democratic Republic. They have been saying it for a long time.

I vote strictly on policies and the decision is which candidate will have a positive impact and if that does not work, then which candidate will have a negative impact on me.

It's always an easy choice. Bringing candidates personal issues is just noise to cloud the easy choice. If a candidate is a personal liability, the process will take care of that by either limiting that person's power or removing from office.

Electing a flawed candidate with good policy is always an easy decision over any candidate with bad policies.
