RE: Your tagline...Do you really believe that? If so, what is the point of your participation here?
Yes.
1. Entertainment.
2. Persuading others to think twice before casting a ballot that, generally speaking, is not only useless but is used as a weapon against us.
We tolerate just about any measure of horrors and thievery because we get that one in one hundred millionth voice in deciding who gets to implement those horrors. I have a problem with that arrangement.
Lets use infanticide as an example of how this works in reality. For over 40 years now infanticide has been legal. We hear all manner of sweet lies from conservative politicians regarding how they’ll end the slaughter. They never do, and its by design. But we continue to vote because, gosh golly, this time will be different! It never is and so long as conservatives play a game we have zero control over, we never will.
And here is a key point: we don’t do other things that would be more effective and more fulfilling because we remain in thrall to the electoral process.
