Is it really important that I vote
(I would really like this to NOT turn into a "party bashing" thread...I am asking a serious question that I would think could apply no matter which party you affiliate yourself with)
**edit I need to clarify I am talking about the presidential election specifically...this does not mean I wouldnt turn out to vote for other issues on the ballot
Yesterday a co-worker and I were talking....we happen to belong to the same "party" and I was explaining how I really honestly did not know if I was going to be able to vote this election because there was only one person I thought I could vote for and I doubted they would get the nomination...he very vehemently told me that I needed to vote no matter who it was that was on the ballot so that our "party" got the vote.
I'm wondering if thats true? Am I really supposed to put aside my disagreement with a candidates actions/past actions and their stance on things just to "vote"?
