Politics and beliefs are related. I always vote.

I am going with nevermind

I’m Canadian and permanent resident in America. I have voted in every Canadian election since I was 18 and generally for the Liberal Party. When I become an American, I will most certainly vote here as well. It is our duty. I am as involved as I can be given my status at the community level with the Democratic Party and especially Supporting Beto. I’m also raising two teenage Democrats of the future.

I would crawl naked over broken bottles and hot coals to vote. I am not deluded. I know politics is a dirty business, but I also know that which party and which pols are in power has a profound effect on many aspects of our daily lives, the economy, and sending our young people off to war.

I always vote, I always vote for a Democrat, and when given a choice of Democrats, I always vote for the female(s).

I vote in every election I'm eligible to vote in. (Local elections, primaries etc.) I always do my research and I always vote progressive when possible. By American standards I would be considered extreme left but by most of the developed world my views are pretty common place. I find that many atheists share my political views and I am always surprised to me a conservative atheist because that makes no sense to me.

Yep. You got me. I vote center left. This means Obama, Hillary, Biden. Not up for negotiation.

Not certain of your question, but yes I vote. I vote against rampant anti-science, corruption, government sponsored religion, raging militarism, oligarchies(?), theocracies, etc.
There's an old Chinese curse that says; "May you live in interesting times", and IMHO we're certainly living in interesting times these days.
Anyway, yes please VOTE! You're not allowed to bitch about the guv'ment if you don't..

I have always voted and will continue to do so. The 'mercan political system is for the privileged and wealthy and has also morphed into for the religious. Unfortunately, my vote is usually against a politician (or for the lesser of two evils). Obama was the first candidate that I voted for the candidate because I thought he would make a difference but he turned out to be just another war criminal and I did not vote for him the second time. I strive to vote for candidates who support "we the people". In my opinion and my political philosophy, the GOP does NOT care for "we the people" in any way, shape, form or fashion. For what it is worth.

I have voted in every presidential election since I turned 18. I've never voted for a Republican president. I've voted for a few Republicans in local races but only because I knew more about them personally. The sad part is, a lot of the time the only person running for a local office is a Republican and they run unopposed. I quit voting for any Republican in the last election. If there's only a Republican on the ballot, I leave it blank.

I vote, I also research who I'm voting for.

I am definitely a voter, but I am not affiliated with any political party. I look at a politician's positions on the issues and vote according to their integrity and what they claim they'll do if elected.

I always vote anti-incumbency, don't care who, we just shouldn't have career politicians.

I always vote. My foremothers were beaten, force fed, arrested, put Into prison, put into insane asylums, marched, fought and died for my right to vote. I won't betray what they went through to sit on my ass, then bitch about the outcome. I am a democrat, liberal and a daughter, wife of, and mother to union members. I was a union member too. We are working class people. Some of us are educated, some are not. I have voted for non dems, for instance Susan Collins, but I have learned that generally, republicans usually are not for the working people. This year I will vote democrat.

since i have never been religious i vote for the candidate who seems to share my values, which are not religious but which might have nothing to do with NOT being religious any more than they have to do with being religious. however, if a candidate even hints at busting up the separation of church and state, they've lost me.

therefore i always vote democratic. the republicans are intent upon destroying that separation.

that's not the only reason, of course. but i assure you it's not the name of the party that matters. it's just that all the candidates i like inevitably turn out to be democratic -- so should i ignore that and claim not to favor one party over another, when i clearly do?

meanwhile, we do not have a parliamentary system. our government doesn't make coalitions. voting third party before a third party has become viable in lesser positions (start with the school board, or city council) just hands victory to the republicans. if you like republicans, go ahead and vote third party. that'll divide the liberal vote and the republicans will win, and when they win, winner takes ALL. there is no compromise there. you can deny it all you want, you can talk about third parties, you can say (incorrectly, but you can say it, while we're still a relatively free country) that both major parties are alike (but if you check congress.gov you'll see that this isn't remotely true), but if you vote third party, in today's america, you are voting republican.

I've voted in every election since '82, and will continue to do so. Everyone should vote.

I'm a voter. I vote.
My attitude toward voting is that if you don't vote, you have no right
to bitch if you don't like how things are going.
I started off as a republican when I first was eligible to vote. Reagan and
the republicans turned me into an Independent. I stayed a registered ( I )
for over 30 years. I recently changed my registration back to republican because
I want to do what I can to change the party from within. They've gone off the rails
and are nothing like the GOP of Eisenhower, when their platform actually made sense. I've been repeatedly told that I'm beating my head against the wall, and that they will never change. That the best we can hope for is that they will implode and go the way of the Whigs. That may all be true, but I at least have to try. If I don't make the effort, I have no right to complain.
