Your political party will always tell you exactly for whom you should vote. Ever disagree with them and vote for someone else? Do they know?

    I vote for whomever I want. I'm not a member of any party.

    Yep. My party told me to vote for Jeb Bush. i voted for Trump. 
    Before that I voted for Mike Huckabee. 

    I did not vote for Senator last time....could not vote for either McSkill or Akins. 

    I vote or do not vote for who I want. I base that decision on policy.

    Generally if you want to make a protest vote they way to do that is vote 3rd party. If the Libertarian gets a significant amount then it does send a message to the GOP and if the Green Party does it sends a message to the DNC. This post was edited by my2cents at July 18, 2018 9:22 AM MDT

  • I've been voting a long time. I've never been a member of a political party. I did some volunteer work for the GOP in the 1980 election while recuperating from surgery. No, I've never followed anybody's directive on who to vote for, organized or otherwise. If I can't decide for myself, I don't deserve the privilege.

    I do not vote party lines!  No one tells me how to vote.  Not the republicans, not the democrats, not the labor unions, not my relatives, not any third party either.  I carefully research all candidates/issues/propositions, weigh the pros and cons, and then make my own decision.

    The internet is a great help in checking out the track records of candidates. I ALWAYS do due diligence and spend however much time is required to make an informed decision. Thank you for your reply Shuhak. Personally I think too many people are way too lazy. Many don't even bother to vote and some who do follow what they are told to do. Go figger!   :(

    I don’t belong to a political party. I do tend to vote libertarian and sometimes republican. I have views from both sides of the political spectrum. I dislike the left more thank rhe right. This is due to social justice warriors, Antifa, and people attempting to shut down speakers who disagree with them.
