Should I Dump This?
Election day is finally here my friends, and though we talked about having different political beliefs a few weeks ago, today let’s tackle VOTING.
To put it plain and simply, would you date someone who doesn’t vote?
That’s today’s email from Steven, upset his girlfriend Carrie refuses to cast her ballot.
Katy,
I have been dating “Carrie” for a little over 6 months. We get on great and even have similar political beliefs. (I enjoyed your email on that because, I too, see that as a serious problem)
So naturally, I was floored when she not only turned down my offer of going to vote together, BUT informed me she wouldn’t be voting in this election.
I think failure to fulfill a simple civic duty is dump worthy? Right?
-Steven
Steven,
Maybe we should just date?
Relationships should center around mutual respect, and I don’t know I could respect a person who doesn’t vote.
Listening to my angry and confused facebook friends who say Obama and Romney are the same candidate, so there’s “no point” in voting, literally make me sick.
Today more than ever, I’m certain that I could not date someone who is either too lazy or apathetic to educate themselves on the issues of the day.
I don’t think anyone could possibly give me one single reason or warped justification as to why voting ISN’T important. Civic duty aside, to not embrace a liberty so many in this world are denied, is an absolute travesty.
I don’t care how good your butt looks in those wranglers, how ripped you are, or how phenomenal your taste in music is, if you don’t vote, I’m not giving you the time of day.
What do you think on this?

Okay seriously? Seems to me like this guy is looking for a reason to dump this girl. To dump someone just b/c they choose not to vote is ridiculous. America is full of freedoms and the right to choose not to vote is one of them. I would rather date someone who chooses not to vote than someone who has completely different political views than I do. Maybe she just feels like neither candidate is worthy of her vote b/c she doesn’t like either one of them? Who is she supposed to vote for then? The third party never wins. I feel sorry for that girl just b/c her guys wants to dump her for something as silly as not wanting to vote!!!
