    curious where everyone is leaning

    poll is anon

    ineligible means you can't legally vote (underage, not from the US, etc.) or wont vote

    ngl, im mostly curious to see if there are similarities or differences in preference between eligible vs ineligible

    drop your opinions below

    I am from the EU so my opinion doesn't really matter buuut.
    I wouldn't vote cuz both of them are mega ass. I am extremely happy to talk about politics on Minecraft server forums and I know this won't devolve into pointless arguments when someone disagrees with someone :)

    If you live in the US and are 18 or older YOU SHOULD VOTE.
    "But both candidates are awful"
    Even if they are, your voice should still be heard. This is also usually a sign that someone just listens to what they hear on tv or the radio and doesn't bother doing any research. If you actually look at the objective facts you are almost certain to find a candidate you like.
    But I still don't really know how to vote.
    Here. This website will tell you how to vote, regardless of what state you live in.

    I still don't want to vote.
    There are three duties that every adult in the US has

    • Pay taxes
    • Serve on jury duty
    • Vote
    I've done all three, and I have to tell you voting is by far the easiest civil duty there. Taxes suck for obvious reasons and jury duty is interesting but takes forever. Voting usually takes like 15 minutes.

    Besides, if you don't vote you are saying that you don't care about who runs the country. Therefore, if you don't vote, you lose the right to complain about whatever happens the next four years.

    I'm voting for the most bold candidate, one that barks the loudest, that allows you to throw the ball and actually returns it.
    The one that doesn't fear peeing or pooping on his rivals lawns, I am of course talking about Mayor Max.

    The fact that your argument for not voting for Biden is because he’s “ugly...”

    Yeah, please don’t vote. Not before you put in actual effort and not be ignorant.

    And y’all understand that Biden was VP to Obama, right...?

    You legitametly think id be serious on a forums post about voting in the USA. A country I don't live in, nor can vote in. Maybe don't assume I was serious before calling me ignorant

    You need to understand that what you said sounds exactly like any uneducated voter during this shitty time. Ignorance is the reason we are where we are - and if you did live in the U.S... it’s not just you, it’s 50% percent of our voters.

    Dude, I love you and all but you're being overly aggressive towards someone who is..

    1. Not an American citizen
    2. A minor
    3. Being sarcastic

    Just chill

    Some random thoughts with the poll so far:
    • I expected Biden to lead by a lot more among eligible voters
    • I thought there were a lot more eligible voters on the forum, was surprised to see only 7 people here fit that but the more I thought about it, the more sense it made
    • I didn't expect Trump to get any votes at all, especially not among ineligible voters
    • I'm curious if the ineligible voters for Biden are underage or not from the USA, should've made those separate options
    • Clearly Biden is the favorite here but I thought there'd be more separation between him and Trump among eligible voters

    The two party system is horrible. Politics should be about the person not the party but oh well. Abolish the two party system :D

    I may not be legally eligible to vote but I’ve volunteered hundreds of hours into local elections... so I hope I understand what I’m talking about.


    I didn’t know Soso was joking, I didn’t know they lived in the U.K.

    What I said I tried not to direct at them specifically but my point stands (:

    Apologies if it came out vicious

    Based on where she stands on the issues I wouldn't vote for her either.

    Though I do agree that the 2 party system needs to go.
