Is my vote mine or not?

[whatchamacallit]

Yes? Good, now kindly stfu.

[brooklynite]

1. Has someone stopped you from voting?

[whatchamacallit]

4. Nope, just getting tired of people trying to tell me what an inconsiderate prick I am

for exercising my constitutional right.

[1StrongBlackMan]

9. Now you know how I feel ...

But, we both know how me telling you (DU:Bernie) to STFU, kindly or otherwise, would have ended up.

Shoe ... Other foot.

[whatchamacallit]

11. I'm not sure I get what you're saying

Were people giving you shit about supporting O'Malley?

[1StrongBlackMan]

12. DU:Bernie, including you (IIRC), insisted that I was a HRC supporter ...

Don't play dumb.

Not to mention ... all the posts telling Black people, in general, how we should vote.

But I guess you missed that, too.

[whatchamacallit]

13. Oh, that

Sorry I/other people didn't believe you. Tho it's an easy (bogus) assumption to make when someone rarely posts about O'M, while continuously defending Hillary and bagging Bernie.

14. One would think that a Democrat would be happy for a Democrat defending a Democrat ...

against right wing meme launched by "Democrats" on the site.

What about the rest?

[whatchamacallit]

16. There's a wide spectrum of democrats

Some are liberals who prize principles over party, some are moderates who prize party loyalty over principle. Therefore, your real democrats would... insinuation is nonsense.

[1StrongBlackMan]

17. Perhaps ... and then, there are "Democrats" that were independents until recently.

[whatchamacallit]

19. Right...

Well your thinly-veiled accusation is half right, you just got the order wrong. I've been a registered democrat my entire voting life, but I'm going independent after this election.

[KingFlorez]

2. Losing makes some people so angry

Have a seat, please.

[Agnosticsherbet]

3. Is this what you mean?

[NuclearDem]

5. Was someone saying it wasn't yours?

[whatchamacallit]

6. You haven't the noticed the loyalty oath/shaming threads?

[PowerToThePeople]

7. Your vote is yours alone

You do no "harm" to anyone by not giving them a vote that was not theirs.

[whatchamacallit]

8. That's what I always thought

but you wouldn't know it around here.

[Land of Enchantment]

10. Well...if we allow what has been going on lately....

From Joseph Stalin but it does ring true....

The people who cast the votes don't decide an election, the people who count the votes do. Joseph Stalin

15. You know, as a kid, I never understood why my family was deadly serious about voting

And one of their rules was, you don't ask what a person is voting for and you don't answer when asked/pressed.

Now I totally get it. It's yours, it's sacred, and it should never be pressured out of you.

18. K and R

20. I hope so--very much

but lately, (actually years), because of voter suppression, Diebold, Supreme Court, and on and on, I'm can
no longer be sure that our votes really matter. The election seems to be a thing thrown out there to
make people believe they have a voice, however small, with their vote. Until there is a massive overhaul
of the way we vote in this country, there are too many loopholes, crevices, weirdness that stymie and
obfuscate the process. All I want is a true Democracy, where one person gets one vote.
