Would you vote for a Presidential candidate if you didn't like them?

no way.i'd stay at home

Hi. I'm from the Philippines but I've been watching the news in U.S. Oregon and Kentucky had their Democratic primaries last Tuesday.

I watched Fox News last Friday and Jesse Ventura, the former governor of Minnesota, was one of the guests. He says he wishes that the U.S. government would provide the option of "none of the above." It means that he would be participating in the election but he would be giving a vote of no confidence. It may seem funny, but I do think he has a point. If you think that none of the candidates deserve your vote, then by all means don't vote. I'd say, go by your conscience.

People should consider two things: character and policies. Of course, they should study the candidates' platform as well as the policies and principles they espouse. Candidates could sweep you off their feet with their honeyed words, but if it's not in their character to uphold what's right and to promote the common good, and if they're just out to promote their vested interests, then you shouldn't cast your vote for those candidates.

In my country, people fall for those have "the personality." A lot of people in show business end up holding government offices. One of our presidents was an actor, and he was later deposed and imprisoned on corruption charges. A lot of my countrymen have lost hope, because all they have now are just broken promises.

I hope people see through the sweeping rhetoric and the shiny exterior. I hope they really make their vote count. I wish that your country would choose a good president. The U.S. president is also the most powerful man (or if Hillary wins, woman) in the world. Our country and yours have close ties and a lot of my loved ones are Filipino-Americans. I wish your country the best.

I think I need to choose from the two. While sometimes its good to boycot its still best to exercise our rights to vote. I'm sure when we will compare the candidates, there always be someone who is better in some aspects.

So for me its better to vote, we'll just have to be careful in choosing the right person to serve the country and its people.

Personally that is an interesting concept. Because I have thought about this one for sure with this Election, and sometimes I fear that it could come down to this. I have wondered why no one is talking about the Economy and what they will do to help change this if Elected. When did we loose focus on this, and make it such a Drama over other things in general? This will truly be interesting for sure. I actually work the Elections here in my County, and I am sure there will be much continued debate on this one here as well.

I will vote someone I know is the better person to run the country
