I'm talking about the United States. This "go out and vote" thing is garbage, and it is old. We aren't really given much of a choice as to who we
can vote for. It is a vote for one of two candidates, and a third party that very rarely affects the election outcome at all. You can't change the
government with a vote; you can change the government with a voice. These votes, that you talk of so highly, are not voices. This year we have the
choice between an idiot, and a guy that wants: your illegal (because they are apportioned, i.e.: different based on your income) taxes to be higher;
our government in control of the medicine that goes into our bodies. There is Ron Paul who will certainly take a lot of votes, but will not gain
presidency. I say he won't based on the presidential history of the United States. No third part candidate has ever become president

This thread is similar, but not same. I was begging the question. However, this guy is the MOD.
