Poll to follow…
Gah, last WEEK, of course. Cue jokes here, yadda yadda yadda…
I fully intended to vote last week, and I continue to fully intend to vote. So I guess that’s “no change”, but it might give a misleading impression.
Yeah, kind of an awkwardly worded question… “no change” for me too, because short of a cyclone or sharknado on East 58th Street, nothing’s gonna stop me from voting!
If you don’t vote, you don’t get to complain about who wins.
I haven’t missed an even year election since I turned 18. I’ve only missed one or two odd-year elections, and none in the last 10 years. No change.
Same here.
I have a hard time understanding where this question is coming from. Why would a Supreme Court opening or the border enforcement ugliness in any way dissuade a “lefty” from voting?
No Change. If I’m conscious, I’m voting, even though it’s just the Illinois governor race that’ll be contested.
Loss of hope. The great American experiment is over, and conservatism has won. There’s no point in voting then, is there?
Also, while I see where previous responders are coming from, I personally don’t think that voting “no change” gives any sort of wrong impression, if you can’t get any more eager to vote.
I would assume any regular viewers of the “Election” board are going to vote in mid-term elections if they can.
There’s your poll: how many who call themselves conservatives (or “righties” if you like) believe that the Constitution was merely a casual experiment, intended to idly pass the time until authoritarian rule could assert itself fully…?
Is that really what you think the Founders were up to?
I guess though I doubt many of those people hang out in elections, especially when you factor in the grief non-voters get in here.
I think you’d have gotten a better sense of the mood and avoided that criticism if you had two options in the middle. “no change-voting” and “no change-not voting”.
My level of being pissed at Trump has remained steady from wee to wee.
I don’t think political junkies are any less likely to despair. Some may actually be more likely to do so. But yes, maybe I should have put this into IMHO, but considering your other point, I may have skewed things there too.
Point. I just didn’t think about that.
This.
Same
The news fuckin’ sucks, no doubt–but our nation has been through worse times. Jim Crow was significantly worse than our current state, and we managed to fight our way out of that. We’ll keep on fighting.
And voting.
…it only took 100 years.
I’d like to see a similar poll, but for suicide.
Yes they do. But nobody is forced to listen to it.
