I Don't Like Any of Them, I'm Not Voting.

- You’re in a conversation and someone says, “I don’t like any of the candidates so I’m not voting.”
What would you say?
Sometimes choices in elections can be very difficult. In an ideal world, citizens would always have the chance to vote between really great people, and choose the one they agree with in every way.
Often, however, citizens do not have that option. But that doesn’t mean they should just throw away their ballots, and here are three reasons why:
First, a vote doesn’t always mean “I think they’re great.” It may just mean “I think they’re better.”
Second, vote for the best policies.
Third, vote for the best team.

I don't want uniformed people or unmotivated people to vote because of peer pressure.
@stephenstaedtler6902 They already do. They're the average voter.
Likely because nobody that's informed is wasting time with voting. 🙄
Will that really make our countries problems go away, like the economy, wars, immigration, foreign policy, etc.
This is the first election I can vote in so I’m excited to actively not vote.
I’m in the same boat as u.😂
Second time around! Going strong lol.
For me, my first time was literally 4 years ago it was for Trump vs Hillary. Fuck election!
Actively not voting is a vote. And I’m proud of you. I believe that not voting if you dont care about the candidates is the most honest thing you can do as an American. You represent an honest platform of indecisiveness showing a true representation of the symptoms caused by divisive political attitudes. Not many would agree, but I think thats smart, commendable and responsible. Great choice! Dont let anyone make you regret it!
You guys literally ignored everything the video said. Smh
I voted in 2000, 2004, 2008 & 2012. I chose not to vote in 2016 and I’m not voting in 2020. Why? Because I don’t want to. The more people try to make voting into a moral obligation, the more I question their motives.
Same here!!!
Same.
In 2008 and 2012 and years before. Nobody cared who you voted for or if you voted or not
And, you are really small and ...stupid.
Thats a very commendable stance to have! The choice to NOT vote is also a great freedom to have. Please don’t let anyone make you regret it! I personally voted, but even i’m still proud of you! Good job mate👍
I proudly voted for no one. Doubt I will ever vote again.
Remove your front door. Let people camp in your hallway. Give your money to whoever wants it. STUPID
@@TGriner 🖕off 🤡
@@imperfectxennial3008 You are proudly living in the darkness of your mind. Study up on the world you are living in. Help set the policy of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness if not for yourself, your children. Think of the kind of world you are living them.
@@TGriner hey jackass voting isn’t going to “set up the policy for life liberty and pursuit of happiness for me or my children”. You’re a naive jerkoff. Violence rules this world and any real change will require it.
Your ignorance is incredible. Seriously.
I don’t think I can ever vote republican or democrat again. The two party system is showing signs of decay and we need more influence from other parties.
💯💯
Why are we force to pick a person and make someone feel bad. Im sorry I dont like none of them. Its ridiculous the pressure people put you on to vote. Its ridiculous. Also I dont complain about the government so please dont used that excuse. I just lived my life and think positive. Whoever becomes president you still have to live in this world. Life goes on
You are obviously uninformed. Maybe stupid.
@@TGriner so we're stupid because we dont like none of these candidates? You know what, instead of calling is stupid because some view elections somewhat rigged or these candidates are bad. That's what we vision what make this election bad. You could've informed us why elections are important instead of stupid insults.
@@TGriner Thats what an uninformed person would say...
@@FarrSec yes it is
@@TGriner Your whole generation is stupid.
2024 nonvoter here. Both major parties have lost me. We need a "none of the above" option on the ballot as a way to reguster or discontent with this pendulum swinging to the extremes nonsense. Im tired of voting for the person who will do the least damage only for them to see it as an endorsement of the far left or right agenda.
I will not vote for this election either. I was eligible to vote for the 2020 election, but I didn’t. It really does pain me to say this, but I am genuinely ashamed of what this country has come to, and I am ashamed to be an American.
I don’t care what your personal views are exactly, but I simply cannot participate in an election for a country that uses its citizens taxpayer dollars to fund genocides.
I simply cannot participate in an election for a country where it’s healthcare system will do anything in its power to leave you to die
I simply cannot participate in an election for a country that treats its women as second-class citizens
I simply cannot participate in an election for a country that treats its homelessness like bugs
I simply cannot participate in an election for a country that has manufactured the world’s first billionaire over 100 years ago
I simply cannot participate in an election for a country that owes literal trillions in debt
I simply cannot participate in an election for a country that does not give a single fuck about the working man
The American dream has turned into an American nightmare.
I simply cannot participate in this election…
This is my first time not voting in this election and don't mind doing it again in 2024.
Smart man. That makes two
of us.
Why does the greatest country in the world have to be forced to vote for two liars that are equally as bad.
" Your vote is your voice!"
Then, perhaps choosing Not to vote may also send a message....
vote for masters, become a slave
Preach
stupid
Vote for losers, become a winner
This is ridiculous. Your ancestors fought for you to even be given a choice before you didn't even matter if to put voted cuz you couldn't. Now you have the opportunity through their hard work you decide to throw it away by not voting
It really shows your inability to make a choice
No one is perfect just like hiring someone or being hired. Someone had to be more ideal and neither of them are perfect but you still make the choice
@@sugarshack758 hello from 3 years ago
At this point, I'd take people not voting. The logic seems to be: I find one candidate to be flawed; therefore I am going to vote for the opposite party whose every word and motive is diametrically oppose to the moral values I profess.
That’s real shit
@think for yourself lmfaooooo you childish 😂😂
I'm sorry but I can't agree. Not voting is the only way to show that we want change and to protect our freedoms as Americans. I let God guide whatever path I take!!
you are ignorant by your own words
Sorry I'm late to the Post and Amen to that God bless 🙏.

Nah I'm still not voting
Better to not vote when you are uncertain, then to gamble with an entire country. If politics is not for you, then don’t vote. If you are passionate and like to read up on economics, societal philosophy, and political trends, then go for it! Of course its best to become informed to take advantage of this right that not every country has if you are confident in the preferred direction for a country, but if you dont know what you’re doing, that’s fine too, some people are understandably too busy for politics. In this case, be responsible. Stay at home and leave it to the people that actually did their homework. If you vote, don’t just be a an echo used to boost someone else’s ideology. Respect yourself. And vote for what YOU want for yourself, not what your friends and family want you to vote for.
Unfortunately most of the country is uninformed and votes by party and listens to whom ever they shove down our necks.
@@imperfectxennial3008 To make matters worse, our country isn’t the only one doing this
@@a7c777 agreed
To not vote is to vote. Why throw your influence away? You are small when you do that. Get a grip.
@@TGriner The choice to not vote in itself is still a great privilege just like voting. And yes i agree, a non-vote is indeed a vote. If you are uncertain, and therefore decide to not vote, i would say that provides the most honest route you can take to represent the position if an undecided American. I don’t see why you should say “hmmm im not sure who i want in office changing major policy for the next 4 years but fuckit, ill vote anyway!”. Voting is not for everyone and its a beautiful thing that it is that way. There’s no need to “get a grip” so long as the option to vote still exists for all other Americans who are more confident on a political side. If not voting would be something that makes you feel small than GOOD, you have motivation to research policymaking which will help you feel confident at the ballots. If not, also good! The choice between both options is part of the privilege. There’s no need to gamble with an entire country like it’s a poker chip. I voted but i still greatly respect those that don’t vote by choice
If you're committed to choosing one of two candidates, you're incentivizing each party to nominate a candidate who's just slightly better than the competitor. It's the Price is Right strategy, bidding one dollar higher. And ultimately, that's what leads us into situations in which all candidates are terrible.
I choose to use my vote to send the message that both major party candidates are unacceptable, which I feel is a perfectly-valid long-term approach.
Libertarian? She's polling less than 3%. No one will hear your message.
Evan McMullin anyone? I thought the same as you in 2016. I have since adopted the thoughts outlined in this video. I choose to vote against Dementia and communism, and for someone who genuinely loves this country and has done a few positive things while tweeting like a child.
I don't vote unless it is for a levy, referendum, or for some issue evolving roads or public utilities.
Non voters here since ever, the real reason people don't vote is because it just doesn't make any sense, you voter don't decide anything, neither the government nor the lwas or the whole administration of the country but this is decided by the big companies or very wealthy people, the common people never ever in history have decided or changed anything because we are simply the followers and not the leaders
Im not sure who I should vote for because im not a fan of either candidate. I was a big Andrew Yang supporter but he didint make it so now I just dont want to vote.
Try investigating the issues and policies. Then get a worldview that has meaning and vote.
All I know is my life is not going to change whether the orange man or "first female" wins. I'm still going to have to wake up, go to work, go to school hope I have enough money to feed myself and my family and that's it.
DOES ANYONE CONSIDER VOTING IMMORAL?
I consider voting useless, just a game that doesn't help anything and voting means you agree with all the things that are happening, voting means that whatever happens "I" decided for it, i don't participate to this evil game
2 sides of the same coin
While I agree that a voter can consider 1) the most preferred candidate with 2) the best policies, and 3) the best team, I think the nagging issue is whether candidates must meet a minimum threshold of character relevant for civil office. This was even more evident in 2016.
I know what you mean. Character matters. Biden, the little girl sniffer was credibility accused of sexual assault and Kamala was known to be sexually involved with a married man who helped her political career. These were done while in political office. What sexual indiscretion has Trump done while in office?
Both Harris and Biden were involved in extramarital affairs. If sexual purity were the test, only the Trump team has an honorable candidate in Pence.
@@eurekahope5310 agreed. Because Trump fails himself.
Honestly, Pence for President & Biden as a Vice, seems like the best idea to me.
@@eurekahope5310 Your terms are acceptable.
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Character flaws should be weeded out in the primary.
While you do have some points, there is nothing wrong with demanding better candidates from your political party. Knowing that they have your vote no matter what only strengthens the corruption and degeneration of the political scene. It's also a slave-like mentality to be content voting for the "least bad" candidate.
I'm not voting
It's up to the person, people should not be judged or ridiculed, or ostracized for not voting like it's some feudal system of government!
In a recent poll. Fifty-four percent of Americans identify as part of the middle class, including 39% who say they are “middle class” Another 31% consider themselves “working class” and 12% “lower class.” yet neither of these candidates have our best interest at heart.
I was so “excited” to vote for RFK this year until he dropped out. I don’t think I will ever vote for the rest of my life
You and me both.
Amen
All lying politicians.
Why can't the politician just do there jobs like their paid to do, instead of making promises to get in office then failing.
Besides voting based on policies (which i thought everyone did anyway)This is crap. Propaganda for the major corporate parties. Neither of whom give a f about you. Best "team" my ass...
Voting has become an exercise in social wars positioning.
As a libertarian, barely anybody running represents my values, besides POTUS. I have the choice between two statist parties for every postion. There is no point.
Not so. You could be part of the win by voting. Shame on you.
@@TGriner If you win a shit sandwich, did you win anything valuable? No
@@57ashdot you obviously care nothing about your life and that of your children. Don't be ignorant. Understand the power of policy that shapes your world and that of your posterity.
@@TGriner Shaming tactics? yawn
@@TGriner there is no winning by voting. You’re a naive jerkoff Tom.
"Your vote will never matter."
- The Electoral College
I can't support either political party anymore. From my point of view BOTH political parties are pro-mandatory overtime, and BOTH political parties are pro protestant work ethic parties. Both political parties are pumping out work hard and pay your taxes propaganda ALL the time.
I'm sick of being told by the government types that hard work and paying my taxes is the solution to everything.
There is no truth to any religion, nor any other supernatural/spiritual belief.
Bring more variety candidate or else f off with your "go vote" bulls**t
I agree. Extremely left or extreme right are not really options for me
We need RANKED CHOICE VOTING! Screw the Electoral College.
you are really stupid. so sad.
@@TGriner State your case Mr. Griner.
@@WWPTE The Electoral College is very necessary for our Republic. It keeps packed cities and states from being over-represented and ruling over small states. It is genius yet those who want to destroy our country want to remove this guard rail of liberty. Study and see for yourself.
Didnt wanna vote but my mom really wanted me to since it would be my first time voting for the presidential election, so i voted Kanye👍
I SAY GOOD FOR YOU IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO CHOOSE
I live in a very conservative state, so it doesn't matter either way
Throw it out don't vote neve changes
No one I have ever voted for has ever gotten elected. I am never going to vote.
If someone said that in a conversation I'd probably just not say anything because most likely I'm the one who's said it lmao
I would say...that this video is garbage and obviously put up by a religious political group. I didn't vote because both candidates have terrible character, their policies are awful, and choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing an evil.
Great thing while not voting is that you can vote against democracy.
Vote third party! If you find that both of the major parties/candidates support things you think are dangerous/wrong, and you feel like you can't get on board, don't! If the candidate really wanted your support, he would take a position that you would be ok with. This past election, both candidates were making plays to excite different contingents of American voters (the left or right). If you don't find your self aligned with either camp, you don't need to take the L and vote for something wrong. Vote for a third party candidate that is more aligned to your position, and let the major parties take the L (imagine what would happen if more people voted against both parties). End the 2 party system!
I would say me neither. There's no reason to vote.
What we don’t do is a choice that affects everyone not just one person. And when we don’t vote, we hand over the work to someone who basically we didn’t want anyways. May as well choose the person who will do the least damage and become more involved. Opting out is how we got here. 🤷🏽♀️We all have to accept that we play a role in the betterment of our society or its destruction. Choices. And ignoring it isn’t changing anything.
Neither is attempting to engage with the problem. It's almost as if nothing is working and the only thing you can do, is stop wasting your time and move on. Proud lifelong non-voter.
The problem with voting for the least damage candidate is that they then interpret your vote as a wholesale endorsement of their agenda which in 2024 is either radical left or radical right. Just wait to see whoever wins talking about their voter supported "mandate" to do something extreme
So don't Vote..?
Vote for Trump
Don't enable the opposing party by alienating them. Understand them and accept them.
Just realize when your candidates are the same ones from last time 😂
If the red light at a traffic stop never changes what then should one do, Go through or fix it?
but what if you need to choose 1 is rapist and 2 is serial killer.for who you will vote?
I can't bring myself to vote for Trump...
And that's also mostly true for the Democratic party Platform.
Trump is basically suppressing most of the things that I like about the Republican party...
And is honestly the biggest argument for voting for the Democratic nominee.
Remember, which “team” is the best?
@Cassus Belli Which is a BIG part of the problem.
Even ignoring all the casual anti Christian sentiment, or the Socialistic/Communistic rhetoric, among the Democrats...
Their Party Platform is approving of things like Near-to/After Birth Abortion, and Lgbtq+ rights supremacism. (Usually at the expense of specifically religious freedoms, but also including anything else)
I you withhold your vote from the candidate you like most, your non vote actually helps the candidate you least like mathmatically.
Sorry friend but not voting doesn't help either candidate. But it does make their masters quake in their boots.
@@thomashewitt8899 Not voting certainly does help the least popular candidate. If all of the people that did not want another 4 years of biden stayed home that would give the election to trump. I did not want another Biden presidency but I would have voted for him to keep Trump out.
@@chipsdad5861 Wrong of course friend as not voting does not benefit either candidate, let alone the least popular one, once again.
If everybody stayed home and didn't vote, it would become more than a parent that our votes aren't the ones deciding anything like those of the ruling class are.
@@thomashewitt8899 It must be easy to be so ignorant.
@chipsdad5861 Well, you seem to be having a pretty easy time with it. Especially if you think that's an actual rebuttal. :)
Run along bucko. You failed to defend voting, so I'll continue to stay unregistered. :)
Aren’t y’all trump supporters? 🤮
I would have voted for RFK Jr
Both sides dismissed him......
I would have voted for Vivek or Cruz (!If he were running)
I'd thought long and hard on this
I don't care for either candidate....
Trump is arrogant and Harris is incompetent...
( Some choice, huh)
Harris was in office almost 4 Years
She's done Nothing!!
Jan 6th is hard to forget...
Not to mention Trump's smug demeanor and talk..
He swears and openly mocks people in public....
I may not vote for either of these....
Thank you
Very well said! Thx
Glad I was recommended this channel!
President Pence & his vice Biden...
I could vote for that.
Write someone else in.
In 2020, I wrote in all of the members of the Ramones, lol.
Booooo
🥱
Also a 4th: there are multiple candidates & issues at the local & state level that need voted on as well. Could fall under the 3rd point, but I think could stand on it's own as well.
pyrrhic victory
Thank you, for your video.
I’d say yo same
loll
