When you become active in the system and communicate to your representatives, and they don't vote in accordance with your values, your responsibility is to support candidates who will.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have this to say to the people: go the polls and vote for the candidate of your choice... This is your responsibility; do not neglect it.
If you want people to support you, then you have to support them. You have to think long about what you did for people who voted for you, made phone calls for you, who went door to door for you.
When you're a leader, you cannot ignore parts of your constituency, even if you know they're not going to vote for you.
During my campaign, people of my age and younger said consistently that they would not vote because their votes simply no longer matter and because no government or member of Parliament cared a whit about their problems and their striving for employment.
You need to remind people that you vote, you matter, and that they can't succeed without your help.
If you can't put your values into your vote, we don't have a democracy.
Of course, it is always nice to poll well, but if you don't get representatives elected, then what is the point?
I live in a city and a state and a country where I support my elected representatives.
I don't feel responsible for things I didn't vote for.
I said I support anyone's right to run for public office and will support those people who support positions that's in the Republican platform.
