Sorry, you already got beat to this punch.

Yes, because history has shown that the vote of the people matters. Just ask Al Gore and Ron Paul.
Riddle me this. Does democracy mean that the government is run by the people and for the people. Or does it mean that everyone gets a vote? I believe the answer changes if you are in a position of power or not. The common people would say it is a government for the people by the people. While those in power would say it simply means everyone has a vote (which they promptly ignore).
Relevant quote "Everyone votes for a dictator".
It's lame to assume people are not a part of the decision making process.
Don't vote? Don't bitch!
these people ARE YOUR LEADERS. Don't be a loser and NOT vote.
Your vote DOES matter
Non voters are losers!
Don't be a loser and NOT vote.
Non voters are losers!
Don't be an idiot and NOT vote.
You People are showing your idiocy. So shameful, so lame.
This is exactly why the people we DON"t want to lead us are in power. Fu#kin Christ, like I said, it doesn't take a rocket scientist. You People are showing your idiocy. So shameful, so lame.

LOL....Yeah, voting works SO WELL, doesn't it??
Calling people idiots because they exercise their right not to vote is truly pathetic. And it was me who beat you to the punch!
www.abovetopsecret.com...
I fully explain why I refuse to vote in federal elections, and it has nothing to do with being an "idiot" or a "loser", as you are so quick to call others. Read it, understand it, and then explain to us again how our votes actually change things for the better.
I look forward to it.

Voting changes nothing.
The whole voting thing is just too corrupt, too much money is involved, too many liars up for election - how/why should I vote when I have absolutely no confidence whatsoever in any of the candidates?
I'm in the UK and our elections are as fake as those in the USA.
It's already been decided who our next leaders are going to be, but we only get to find out who that is after the fake vote count is complete.
How can I vote when I believe elections are all just a huge facade?
