Who will you be voting for in this upcoming presidential election?
Why are you voting for your chosen candidate? Is it because you think that their economic policies and diplomatic interests will help to further your own? Or do you simply think they are funny/ look good?
If you are voting for a 3rd party, please explain what you like about them, perhaps also what you don't like about the main candidates that is a common characteristic between them, if you can think of one.
If you are not voting at all, why not? Have you chosen to NOT choose because you simply don't have the time to vote or would rather drink beer and watch the election with friends, or is it because you have well thought out reasons why not to vote?
I will go first. (this next paragraph was shortened by ChatGPT!)
I am not voting in this presidential election because I am simply not interested. If that's not enough, here are other reasons:
1: My vote is insignificant: In a country of over 300 million, my vote is just one in 100 million+.
Now, some people might say to this "You should vote to encourage people around you to vote". And to this ridiculous assertion I say, how narcissistic do you have to be to think that your casting of a vote once every 4 years would do anything to encourage others to do the same?
Some people may say to this, while completely changing topic from national to state/city elections, that I should vote in local elections. however, even in local elections, living in a city of 150000 people, my impact is still negligible.
2: I don't support any candidates: Voting for the "lesser of two evils" still means supporting "evil".
Some people say to this that, I have an "obligation" to vote. I say to them, if fulfilling my obligation requires me to vote for a candidate that will bring harm to the people of this nation, that I will not do it.
3: I lack political knowledge: Simple as that.
