Quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s refusal to vote undermines his message

[KENNY DA COOKER]

Politics without economics is NONSENSE-farrakhan

Asians and jews aint worried about voter drives......they just use $$$ to create lobbyists for thier agenda

 

[Dorian Breh]

No

Colin lives in California his vote didn't matter

Going to the voting booths is demeaning when you know that your candidates are not concerned with your issues or wellbeing

Rather than deriding citizens for not voting, particularly in already committed states, Democrats should focus on finding another candidate the populace is excited to vote for

American citizens of today did not ask for this two party political system where they rarely feel represented by the policies of their candidates

1) Not making an excuse for anything

2) I'm not surprised a trump supporter wouldn't want black people to vote

1. Your viewpoint has no strong point.
2. Who are you speaking of? I didn't vote for anyone.

not voting is dumb, plain and simple.

Voting out of tradition or fear is dumb.

 

[Piff Perkins]

The funny thing is that it California always has stuff on the ballot that directly impacts people. This year specifically they had Prop 66 which relates to the criminal justice system and death penalty. So when you say you don't vote because "both candidates are the same" what you're really saying is that you're a dumbass who doesn't know or care about local voting which often has more direct daily impact on you than presidential candidates.

Prop 66 passed by less than 2%.

not voting is dumb, plain and simple.

So is voting for the wrong candidate.

Voting out of tradition or fear is dumb.

this sounds cool, but lacks substance tbh

So is voting for the wrong candidate.

yeah, that would be Trump.

 

[OG Talk]

yeah, that would be Trump.

Well since Kaepernick didn't vote for Trump it would appear he did the right/smart thing. What is everyone so upset with him about then?

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

If u don't vote I think you're stupid but whatever

But nikkas who try to paint themselves as a revolutionary by staying at home and saying they're both voting is even more stupid

This ain't the matrix. you can't take the red pill and eject. as long as you're alive and living in the u.s you're a part of the system. money is still coming out your check and you're going to be effected by these laws

Only way to remove yourself is suicide or immigrate somewhere else

[Kenny West]

none of the leading presidential candidates were running with the promise of fixing police brutality so his message is consistent to me

 

[El Poyo Loco]

It's his right to vote or not to vote he exercised it.

Fools kill me with the you an idiot if you don't vote narrative. The voting rights act wasn't just to let us vote it was to give us the option to vote. Cacs loved it when we didn't have that option to vote or not.

I'd rather have an option than not.


Plus I remember a few weeks ago around the debates Colin did say he wasn't voting for either one but if he was going to vote it would be Jill Stein.

Well since Kaepernick didn't vote for Trump it would appear he did the right/smart thing. What is everyone so upset with him about then?

Because he ain't on their "team"

"You need to pick a side!!!!"

"No"

"Why not?!?!"

"All of you are fools."



Vote for the "lesser" evil

 

[thekingsmen]

yeah, that would be Trump.

That would be Hillary as well...

 

[Apollo Creed]

why would Malcolm be disappointed when Malcolm and the NOI themselves were against voting?
