If you stay home, you have no business bitching. There are several choices there
1. Don't vote. If you don't vote, I don't give a rat's ass what you have to say since it isn't important. If it was important, you would be voting.
2. Leave it blank. If you don't like anyone, you can leave it blank. That means none of them were good enough for you vote, and it still records as a vote.
3. Vote third party
4. Vote for a major party candidate.

This is a Republic. As long as I have the choice to vote, I don't have to resort to the cartridge box.

To: Dan from Michigan
Dan from Michigan has clearly missed the point, but then, this is the source of the very problem I was addressing. What I offer is the intelligent alternative to "2) Leave it blank" (not to mention all other options presented by Dan).

Rather than give in to the brainwashing, why not consider what one is actually voting for when one votes -- if you want to vote for the status quo, go ahead. But if you DON'T, then DON'T VOTE. \

Any vote is always a vote for at least one thing (even leaveing items blank): Business as usual. Dan, do you really think that your vote, whoever you vote for, will affect the changes you hope for? "Well, it didn't work last time, so let's do it again, only more so!"

Why not check out "The Paradox of Wisdom" on www.directactionjournal.org
