Should I vote?

Should I vote?

I live in Demark, Europe, yet I have dual citizenships...but I don't have residence over dere!!? I have no plans to move to America. I do care about my second country.

Is it ok, for me, to vote in the upcoming election?

It has become easy now, for outside Americans in DK to vote but I've never voted before as I've lived 80% of my life in Denmark.

No, it's not about who I'd vote for and don't question my integrity either

Be serious - and thanx in advance!

[sheepshead]

yes

[HarveyWallbangers]

It's up to you. It sounds like you have the right to vote. It's up to you whether you want to use that right or not.

[Freak Out]

If you can vote then hell yes. Always.

[texaspackerbacker]

The serious honest answer I would give you from the point of view of what's good for the country in general is YES if your vote is for McCain, NO if your vote is for Obama. That may sound like sarcasm, but it's not. In reality, one vote is, of course, extremely unlikely to make a difference.

As for your own point of view, a self-interest thing, there is no downside whatsoever except the time it takes to do it for voting. If it makes you feel even a little bit fulfilled or whatever, go for it.

No offense, but why even ask this?

I've never missed an election since I turned 18 and never will. I even vote in the special school board elections. Once I was the only one to show up at the polling place besides the election workers.

Why would anyone question your integrity for exercising your right to vote?

Hell yes, you should vote. And, I don't think it matters who you vote for.

Voting for the sake of voting doesnt make sense to me. If you feel strongly about one candidate or the other then by all means you should be voting. It's definitely OK to vote no matter your latitude and longitude.

Good point Zool but I wouldn't vote for the sake of voting.

Thanx, in a way!

I will vote but it's my vote Tex - ok!?

I discovered the possibility post US Pres. election 2004. Democrats & Republicans rallied through the media in some Danish talk-show 2004 - voting went from bureaucratic to doable. In '04 some 200 voted Kerry, about 10 for Bush. About the same will happen in 2008 - that's my guess yet I think more will vote (in DK).

I can't vote so you can have my unused vote too :P

No problem. I'm still wondering why you brought up the question in the first place.

[MadtownPacker]

You asked so you are gonna get mad at the answer.

Fuck no you shouldn't vote!! You dont live here and dont plan to so you should have no say so with what happens to this nation.

This is not against you personally MMMDK this is my general thought on this.
