Good morning today is by all reasonable concerns Election day around the country. As usual I have been told that because I choose not to vote I do not have the right to an opinion concerning the government of the country. This ,although not the first time someone has spewed this ridiculous nonsense out of their mouths, is a sign of just how programmed and ignorant to the truth we as Americans have become.
Some people believe that it is better to vote then to waste your vote. UGH! this is ummm STUPID! yeah I said it. Think about it if you as a voter have looked at the platforms of all the candidates in your area and do not entirely agree with any of them , why would you vote? just for the sake of saying I let my voice be heard? lol that is funny because your voice has not been heard because if your voice had been heard then you would be voting for someone that you believe in whole heartedly that you believe will work in your best interest. But is this the case, in most cases NO. We tend to vote for the lesser of two Evils (as if that makes any since at all). What I guess that means is that if Hitler and Mussolini where on the Ballot people would vote for Mussolini. How ignorant is that. The way to let the government hear your voice is to stand up and say with no hesitation I am not going to vote for any of these people because I do not believe in them. Think about it.
Another reason I choose not to vote is because the System is broken. What we call Democracy is far from it. The electoral college has all the power in our election process not the people. Open your eyes haven't you learned anything over the last 6 years. The popular vote (aka peoples vote) has added up to mean nothing. You have been screwed out of two elections but yet you still think the system is about you. This in the medical world is called a placebo. You have been CONed. Open your EYES. The people in the country need to wake up and take a stand. Try not voting show your true power let these politicians know that you are tired of being left out in the cold like a yard dog.
To me it seems that you people who vote for the sake of voting are the ones wasting a vote. Think of it this way if you have a thousand dollars in your pocket and you go into a store if they do not have anything you want you are not going to waste your money buying something just because you are there so why should this be any different. WAKE UP!

I hear you about the brokenness of the process, but I'm voting regardless. Here's a link to comic on the voting process that you might like...

One thing I forgot (until I got to the polls) as another reason to vote: the other ballot issues. There were amendments to our state constitution and various bond requests on the ballot as well. Plus school board members (who often use this as a springboard into further politics), county seats, etc. In my opinion, those are also strong reasons to vote, regardless of the crap that has floated to the top and want to be governors/senators/etc. Your mileage may vary, of course. :-)
