....Kerry vs. Bush? ...... just one more reason that I don't vote....



I fail to see how you feel it's justified that you can complain without exercising this basic democratic right.

If you feel this strongly support a candidate that promotes your ideals. Even if you don't think he can win.


That's a bullshit argument. I fucking hate it when people say "you don't vote, so you can't complain." I have lots of reasons for not voting, but I'll try to present the most simple:

I don't agree with our political system. I think that the general public is too stupid to be trusted with the responsibility of electing a president. (And the electoral college is even more shit than that.)

I do like the idea of a democracy, but the entire country is too big for John Q. Dumbass to know who is best suited to run it. If anything, I think that people should elect mayors, who in turn elect governors, who in turn elect the president. Or something to that effect.

I don't like our political system. Voting would demonstrate my support of the system. Therefore, I WILL NOT VOTE.

Also, you cannot tell me (without lying to yourself) that my vote actually matters. The uneducated, uninformed public is such a huge majority that all intelligent votes are overwhelmed by the votes of mindless sheep who just vote along party lines or just vote based on what the union leader tells them to do.
