The Logic Of Not Voting ?

[I Self Lord & Master]

Niggas literally sacrifice their life for this nation in every capacity one can imagine, we paid n continue to pay a higher premium for this bitch, short of maybe natives, than ANYONE. N that's not up for debate

but the buck supposed to stop feelin certain ways about shit at voting or lack their of?

I know this nation treats us like were guests, but you don't have to place your damn self in that box...

 

[A Talented One]

Niggas on the IC:

"This election choosing between the main choices is like choosing between getting punched and getting shot."

"So I'm not gonna vote... though that might mean I get shot."

Sounds perfectly logical to me.

Uhh....http://community.allhiphop.com/discussion/551672/the-logic-of-not-voting#latest

Lmao my bad brah, didn't see it

 

[Trillfate]

It's a rebellious thing, a form of protest, people don't want to be followers or sheep... but not voting solves nothing.

If you pay taxes how do you lose the right to complain?

You can complain but it will go on deaf ears to the ones that voted because you could've had a hand to prevent all that. The power in voting. At the same time I agree with what @BOSSExcellence said. If the candidate you voted for come in and fucks up some shit they need to be quite too because you voted that fucker in.

People are going to do what they wany to. I'd rather the uneducated folks not vote but sadly they seem to do most of the voting.

 

[jono]

I don't care. Vote, don't vote me nor anyone else really cares. Its not like its going to come down to Jojo from the block's opinion anyway.

Electoral College...

 

[Dazzling]

It disgust me

 

[Inglewood_B]

Just tell the truth and say you wasn't gettin your(my) lazy ass up and turnin off the madden long enough to vote any damn way

To answer the OP, the logic behind voting is, it is MY CHOICE AND RIGHT to decide if I want to vote or not. There has to be a candidate that I deem worthy enough to spend time out of day to go out and vote for. If there is no candidate that fits the bill, I will not vote, simple logic.

Then there's the personal accountability that comes with voting. If I vote for president X, and president X bombs a foreign land killing civilians, women and children, I am partially responsible. And I refuse to have that kind of blood on my hands.

To quote the great Dead Prez:

Yo, you expect me to vote for the lesser of two evils?

NEVER!

It’s more like the evil of two lessers.

That’s like sayin’ – M! Choose your oppressor!

Pick one! Jeffery Dahmer or Hannibal Lecter

You want Crack, Coke, Pepsi or Dr. Pepper?

THEY ALL FUCKED UP and neither one of ‘em better

Cuz Crack is like a Democrat

Cocaine – Republican

Marijuana – Independent Party

SAME GOVERNMENT!

You really think your vote counts?

Ask my folk down in Florida didn’t they straight THROW they shit out!

And them crackas act innocent,

KNOWING they depend on this

Benefit from HUSH money from big businesses

MONEY is the president!

...

If CONGRESS can’t make PROGRESS

Let’s change the PROCESS -

NO MORE TOMS RUNNIN’ FOR OFFICE!

GOAT'd for the Dead Prez quote.

I respect somebody saying it's their right to choose not to vote.

Some MFs tho seem like they want to be able to gloat about it after the fact - like fast forward 2 years (if Hillary wins) and stop and cops still gettin' away with murder:

"See, that's why I laugh at y'all dumbasses who voted for this Killary bitch, etc..."

It's like bruh - you think MFs like her or some shit or just dealing with our options ?

 

[Neophyte Wolfgang]

I don't vote for people I don't like. Its pointless and you masses will be lead to your own destruction, enjoy you deserve every bit of it

 

[Inglewood_B]

Really truthfully they were not going to vote anyway. Everybody I know that votes on the regular is at least going to vote for the local election. And the impulse will be to vote for the presidential race anyway.

But you also lose the right to complain as well since you didn't participate

Exactly

This... To be quite honest.

 

[xxCivicxx]

there's ABSOLUTE logic to it..

What's the logic then fam ?

I'm not even trying to knock another point of view, just trying to understand it.

There has never been a single president in all of American history that has done anything specifically for the benefit of black people

Aside from that, the popular vote is complete irrelevant and only serves to make the average American feel like they contributed to picking a president even though they're normally pre-selected 3-4 years in advance

Aside from that, regardless who become president, they have to answer to the banks/private sector, not the other way around

Electoral College...

I respect this opinion too - at least it has logic to it. Never fully understood how that shit worked.

But then again, it doesn't take much to vote. It's free, WTF right ?

 

[Recaptimus_Prime360]

Part of my issue is that I don't understand why people feel like they can't vote for anyone other than Trump or Clinton. Vote for whatever candidate on the ballot you feel will best lead the country. If you don't feel like any of them can...then write in a candidate that you think can get the job done.

Funny this about that...muthafuccas act like they were FORCED to choose those two.

Where was all these Sanders supporters at during the primaries??

Where was all those "Not Trump" supporters at?

Apparently the AMERICAN PEOPLE didn't feel Sanders or the other GOP candidates were good enough. B/c they were the ones who nominated Clinton and Trump.

 

[Inglewood_B]

I don't vote for people I don't like. Its pointless and you masses will be lead to your own destruction, enjoy you deserve every bit of it

Since we taking it to ridiculous extremes...

Whether you vote or not one of them will be elected. And if the winner decides it's time for "destruction" you aren't exemption it because you didn't vote. You gon march your goofy ass into an internment camp wishing you put your vote in for the other candidate and deserve every bit of it.

 

[Westie]

Can somebody please tell me what makes Trump so bad? I have not been following it much but he always seems like a cool down to earth kind of guy, what has he done that was so bad?

Ok, you just convinced me that religion makes some people stupid.

 

[Swiffness!]

Arizona, California, Maine, Massachusetts and Nevada have WEED LEGALIZATION on the ballot, gentlemen.

Anyone not voting for THAT is a coon.

I seen the Promised Land in Seattle ya'll. I been to the mountain top.......

 

[jetlifebih]

Can we agree that the presidential election if out of our hands?
