Are you an "undecided" voter?

[Anonymous]

I read/hear all the barbs and arguments going back and forth about the election- but I feel like it's just too groups of people screaming in separate, sound-proofed rooms. How many people on DCUM, for example, are really undecided voters and who find any of it informative?

If you are one, what is your take on the campaign to date?

(signed, totally decided voter.)

I'm undecided in that I don't know whether I will vote or not. I have voted in all previous elections both national and local, but I've pretty much reached the conclusion that it is a waste of time to vote in national elections.

The system is broken; it is totally corrupt and doesn't work. There's no real point taking part and pretending this is a functional democracy. I'm leaning heavily towards skipping it.

Like PP, I am also undecided, but I probably will not vote. I've been pretty annoyed by how these campaigns are being run this time around and it's really made me dislike both candidates. I'm sure it is a bit different in the DC area (I am in Mass) but I could tell you more about the negative things directed at each candidate than what they actually stand for. It's becoming more and more of a circus and I'm a bit disgusted by it. I agree with PP, the whole system is totally corrupt and doesn't work. That said, I have no good alternative.

Sure you do. Move to North Korea.

This is America. A participatory democracy. Educate yourself and make a choice. Romney and Obama are not the only candidates for POTUS, and the presidency is not the only question on the ballot.

Standing on the sideline is a cop out.

Yeah I get that they are not the only ones on the ballot...but I live in Mass. Part of my reason for being so "meh" this coming election is because 1. my vote doesn't matter and 2. Just because it is a participatory democracy doesn't mean I have to like how it's being run. It's a joke. I think I've seen one actual campaign ad and the rest have been negative type campaign ads? All the articles in the mainstream media are jokes and just as inflammatory. I'm just frustrated that this whole process is not what it was used to be. That said, I will vote in the local election issues, but I'm probably just going to vote for someone else entirely for President because I really don't like either of the main contenders and I just don't care at this point.

To the Mass voter: Do you feel the same about Brown and Warren for Senate as Obama/Romney?

I'm not responding to OP since I'm decided for Obama, and if I were in Mass, I'd probably vote Warren, although the last time I voted in Mass, I voted for an independent for Senate.
