But I consider that no candidate really has the level to lead my country.


My position is this: both are horrible choices, which one is not the worst... then I vote for that one.
If I don't vote at all I forfeit my right to complain.
If one doesn't vote, stay quiet. You had your chance to make a difference and you chose not to. Now others don't have to hear their complaints.
Just My thoughts.
if I still have the right to complain.
1) Just because I would vote does not mean that the candidate I voted for will win the election.
2) Even if I do not vote, the decisions that the President could take could have an impact on my life.
and finally to end I will quote Georges Orwell
"A people who elect the corrupt, renegades, impostors, thieves and traitors are not victims! They are accomplices."
I agree with the quote.
Listen, if I'm talking about politics with guys at work I'm going to ask the question, "did you vote?"
If he says that he did not then I'll tell him that I don't even want to know his opinion because he didn't have the sense of duty to try to steer the country the way he thought it should go.
I'm trying to silence you.
The opinion I posted earlier is how I am with people around me.
Participate or shut up and accept what your laziness contributed to.
Often we realize that presidents or politicians have been involved in shady affairs. People then criticize their president, but they are the ones who put these bad presidents in power. It's not people who don't vote who put bad presidents in power, so we people who don't vote have a right to complain about corrupt presidents put in power by people who vote.
Your not voting?
Did you lose faith in Zemmour I remember first hearing about him from you saying he would be a better leader then Le Pen.
I always vote even if I’m not excited about the person I’m voting for.
In the 2012 presidential election in America I voted for Mitt Romney even though I didn’t like him at all, I just liked him a little more then Obama.
Yes I lost confidence in Eric Zemmour. He is better in these books on the history of France than on politics. he makes unrealizable proposals, for example he promises zero immigration and to return immigrants present in France. Moreover, he only talks about immigration.
In the end, no candidate deserves to govern this country. Macron will win again I think.
I understand your point of view. but I prefer not to vote.

I always vote, even though usually I feel the same way, as I feel the options are poor and weak.
There are many Countries who still cannot have a say in who runs their nation, so I exercise my voting right, as people fought hard for this right for a very long time.
I don't vote either. You're either trying to decide between Curly, Larry, and Moe, or Hitler, Stalin, and Mao. Or a combination of those. What is the point? People think they're doing a civic duty by voting for despots or complete idiots, just because they voted. I digress. Give me someone worth voting for and I'll vote.
I never voted for anything. Even more so now after witnessing the blatant fraudulent elections in the US. If things like that happen in the US I cannot even imagine how rigged elections in Europe are where are used to be ruled by dictators for centuries now. It's a fuckin joke.
Where do you live, France?
No, I didn't vote for either of the two main candidates in the last US presidential election. Just tired of being forced to choose the lesser of two weevils.
I did it for the first time in 2016, even though I could in 2012. I didn't want trump in the white house so bad, I said, I'm going to vote finally. Besides, it's your civic duty to vote. Right REPUBLICANS?
When that is the case, I vote for the one that will do the least damage. But you never know. The president of Ukraine was a comedian that has turned into a lion.
no. people who have no stake should not vote. if you don't want to vote it clearly doesn't matter to you
this is a good thing. it means you are satisfied
I am anti-progressive, but I never vote, because one vote does not make a difference.
If you’re living in the USA you better get registered it’s your duty and a honor to vote
I only voted once, but I am quite young.
Yes.
No.
