Voting Republican vs Democrat for presidential candidates.?

Voting gives you the right to speak out and complain about how the government operates. If you do not vote, you have no right to complain about anything that goes wrong. It is not mandated anywhere that you have to vote. It is a right which many countries do not give to their citizens and if you choose not to take advantage of it, that is also your right. But I would rather have the opportunity to have a say in who is elected, which propositions are ped and which laws are invoked that sit back and watch the whole system go to hell in a hand basket. You have to be proactive today or the world is going to p you by and you won't have anything to say about it.
