    have you ever voted and if so who for? what part of the political spectrum are they?

    My countries election is on the 23rd, They set up advanced voting stations everywhere where anyone can walk in and vote 2 weeks before the official election. I voted today for the 3rd time, this time I voted for the New Zealand Green Party- they probably have a political party in a lot of your counties as well.

    Nah, I could've voted but I didn't like Hillary or Trump, or any third parties. Bernie would've been nice.

    Why? I agree with @Mraczewsky . If there are no polititions you like and all of them are dumbasses (for example last year in usa) then why should you benefit one of them?

    I voted for trump mainly because hillary would have been a bigger disaster

    I'm a 19 year old Indian, voted once for the state elections of Punjab as of now, it was a great experience especially since I love analysing politics, right next to shi--ing on streets you know

    Well in NL there aren't just 2 parties and it isn't such a big media circus like in the US lol.

    Not saying either system is better or something but even tho I don't 100% agree with any of them, there are a few that come close to how I view things.

    U are given the opportunity to give your opinion and if you refuse you shouldn't complain either. May be a harsh statement but to an extent I agree

    There are multiple parties in the US, but the odds of a third part candidate winning is slim to none
