I’m not going to vote for Donald Trump. There’s no way I would vote for him under any circumstance. However, I think that the protesters may as well send him some money, because I think they’re going to push people into his camp.
Bad officials are the ones elected by good citizens who do not vote.
People feel much more comfortable with the ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ version of women’s liberation: possibly feeling life would be much simpler if the suffragettes hadn’t wanted the vote and just really enjoyed chaining themselves to railings.
Vote SNP for a party that always stands up for Scotland, that is stronger for Scotland, and a government that will keep the country moving in the right direction.
The right to vote is the right upon which all of our rights are leveraged – and without which none can be protected.
People who don’t vote have no line of credit with people who are elected and thus pose no threat to those who act against our interests.
A vote for Eric Cantor is a vote for open borders. A vote for Eric Cantor is a vote for amnesty.
I feel a real responsibility to my community and so right now there has been this bizarre myth in our community how our vote doesn’t count. I’m trying to get out there and re-educate on how the government works and break that myth and talk about the importance of being involved.
Susan B. Anthony must be turning in her grave if she knew that millions of women who have the right to vote are not exercising it. Why? Because they haven’t got the interest or the time, or they have just given up hope.
We can change the direction of the country with our vote.
If there’s amnesty leading to citizenship, I’m going to vote against it again.
You’re wrong if you think young people don’t deserve the vote.
We’re a miserably violent species. But there’s a complication, which is we don’t hate violence, we hate the wrong kind. And when it’s the right kind, we cheer it on, we hand out medals, we vote for, we mate with our champions of it. When it’s the right kind of violence, we love it.
The minor choices we make are themselves a kind of vote. Our words and gestures, or their absence, count very much.
Every new baby is a blind desperate vote for survival: people who find themselves unable to register an effective political protest against extermination do so by a biological act.
The National Popular Vote is about getting states to convert from the winner-take-all rule. The states that pass the legislation will assign all their electoral votes to the candidate that got the most votes in the country, not just in the state.
We vote – if the public votes 50 percent, we vote 70 percent. So we have a bigger impact with our numbers, and the organization and the manpower we can bring to a race.
People in Northern Ireland vote for their church, they don’t vote with their heads; it is ridiculous.
If I believe your jobs plan, I’m going to vote for you.
Donald Trump, I would vote for him. Trump would make this country better I feel.
I don’t follow politics; it doesn’t interest me. So why should I vote?
If you’re black in this country, if you’re a woman in this country, if you are any minority in this country at all, what could possibly possess you to vote Republican?
When President Donald Trump nominated Judge Neil Gorsuch to serve on the Supreme Court, I said that he deserved a fair hearing and a vote. I said this even though Senate Republicans filibustered dozens of President Obama’s judicial nominees and then stopped President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Merrick Garland.
Someone earlier made a remark about losing 500 soldiers and 2,200 wounded in Iraq. Those soldiers were sent there by the vote of Sen. Lieberman, Sen. Edwards and Sen. Kerry. I think that is a serious matter.
People who vote against this today are voting against me and I will not forget.
Of course, no one wants to ban the vote. Voting should remain available for sporting and recreational purposes. But certain types of votes clearly should be curtailed – ‘assault votes,’ for example, in which the only purpose of the vote is to harm others.
I’d rather support the issues I truly believe in than give my vote to parties that court votes at the time of the election. I like to think that my vote strengthens the green foundation stone.
I try to vote as left as I can. I hope that my paintings will coincide and be far left, but frequently… the painting rebels and goes fascist on me.
Canadians didn’t vote for a carbon tax. Justin Trudeau campaigned, promised that he wouldn’t create a carbon tax.
My generation, we really have to step up to the plate and vote. Tweeting is great – people say, ‘Oh, I don’t want this or that’ – but at the end of the day, tweeting isn’t a ballot. Just saying that you don’t like someone on Twitter is not going to turn a state blue or red. You have to vote.
I know how the American people care for that democratic principle. They want to see their vote respected. As we in Haiti want to see the vote of the people respected.
If women had never been given the right to vote, then Labour would have won every election after the war.
Billionaires and corporations buy and sell politicians, while citizens struggle to exercise their right to vote or hold their elected representatives to account.
Many bills and many amendments that get passed get passed by a voice vote. They don’t actually get voted in by roll call, meaning all 435 members don’t vote on many of the bills.
For me, a better democracy is a democracy where women do not only have the right to vote and to elect but to be elected.
When George Washington was elected president, there was no national vote.
This trend of reporting process over substance is unfortunate, if omnipresent. Even worse is the media’s inability – or unwillingness – to fact-check Republicans who are angry about the Democrats trying to debate and vote on Iraq policy.
I said I’m going to vote for Hillary. But my philosophy is that everything’s workable. If Trump is president, I’ll work with that guy. I don’t know if he’s terrible or what. He’s refreshing in that he doesn’t speak in that political way. I don’t quite understand why everybody hates Hillary so much.
The right to vote is the easiest of all rights to grant.
It is an essential tenet of our whole representative form of government, the idea that there should not be some tyranny which makes it so nobody can even have a chance to vote.
Some Republicans gave up on winning the African-American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization. I am here today as the Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong.
The democratic process is supposed to be one person one vote, but it turns out that money is talking louder than the votes.
We are just interested in dealing with the people we’re paying every day. We know federal law allows them to vote in a union at anytime, but we think we can resist that by talking to our own people and giving them enough upside.
I am about to vote. I am about to do something that human beings are rarely allowed to do. I am doing something that did not exist until America.
I do have two data identities. I have my name, Bruce Sterling, which is my public name under which I write novels. I also have my other name, which is my legal name under which I own property and vote.
I was one of the first 18-year-olds in the United States elected to public office right after 18-year-olds got the right to vote back in the early ’70s. I ran for the Board of Education.
Having the vote is just symbolic. There are still many issues on which women don’t have any right and, in many countries, where women are given very very few rights.
I’m conservative. I was raised conservative, and that’s the way I will vote.
The difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that in a democracy you vote first and take orders later; in a dictatorship you don’t have to waste your time voting.
We were elected in a wave because the people in America, if they had a single issue that troubled them the most, it was that health care vote.
We don’t want someone who will get 98 percent of the vote. We want someone who will get 51 percent of the vote.
I’m inclined to vote for Roberts unless something else comes up. It’s a close call.
I’m attorney general of the United States. I will not stand for – I will not allow people to take away that which people gave their lives to give, and that is the ability for the American people to vote.
In 2016 the public voted by a majority to leave the E.U. As I can see from my mailbag, some are angry at being deprived of their hopes and expectations. They demand action to implement their vote, just as others require we should think again and abandon the project entirely.
Where is the politician who has not promised to fight to the death for lower taxes- and who has not proceeded to vote for the very spending projects that make tax cuts impossible?
If someone is cynical and doesn’t vote and ends up with a crummy job in a crummy country with a decimated environment, they only have themselves to blame.
Political elites vote in a more partisan fashion than the mass public; this tendency, too, follows a curve. The more you know, the more likely you are to vote in an ideologically consistent way, not just following your party but following a set of constraints dictated by a political ideology.
