A Reason Not to Vote Monday, 22 October 2012 09:19 'When you vote, you participate in the theft and extortion of yourself and others. When you vote, you are an accessory to theft, extortion and all the crimes perpetrated by the beast of government. Your vote is what gives legitimacy to the illegitimate. The conclusion is inescapable: voting is an immoral act. It defies reason and incriminates the voter in all manner of transgressions -- not unlike holding down a victim while your neighbor has his way with her. It's detestable and I see no reason to ever participate in it unless I choose to be a criminal too. There are only two answers to this problem: embrace being a thief or don't vote. For me, the only answer is don't vote.' Read more: A Reason Not to Vote

That's a nice fantasy, if votes do matter. I do not think they do, personally.
Tuesday, October 23, 2012 Ordinary citizens play no role in US electoral process: Analyst Video at source Tue Oct 23, 2012 8:23AM GMT Download | Embed Darnell Summers with the Berlin-based Institute for Cultural Diplomacy (ICD) A prominent political analyst says the US political system is founded on principles of slavery and ordinary citizens play absolutely no role in the country's electoral process. “The average citizen has absolutely none (no role in the elections). If you just reflect on the immense amount of money that’s being spent on the campaigns, two billion dollars by each candidate, that in and of itself indicates that the common man has no place, no role in the electoral process. I mean, our guest [another guest in the show] said that we don’t have control that we have lost control, well, we never had control,” said Darnell Summers with the Berlin-based Institute for Cultural Diplomacy (ICD) in a recent Press TV interview. Summers stressed that the United states has always been and continues to be a ‘slavocracy’ as the common American has never had the power to influence the country’s political process ever since the establishment of the state. “We have a situation where the United States started as a ‘slavocracy’. From the very beginning a large section of the people living in the country, the European settlers and the Indians of course, they didn’t have any, the indigenous people they had no say in the workings of the political aspect of the United States government from the very beginning and that pattern has continued.” The analyst argued that the majority of Americans are devoid of political power in today’s America as they used to be in the past when the course of US politics was dominated by the slave owners who were also the possessors of the country’s wealth and controllers of its economy. “The slave owners they had the mass great fortunes, controlled the economy, north and south and everything was based upon that particular foundation, Slavocracy, then to what some people called democracy, however, the situation for the majority of people in the United States has remained the same - They remain politically powerless,” he said. The comments come as according to an Associated Press report published on Oct. 19 Zionist Jews are the biggest donors that finance the US presidential election campaign of both the Democratic President Barack Obama as well as his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney. As said by the report, the wealthy Jewish donors and others are financing this year’s US presidential election, on track to cost a whopping 2 billion USD, with funding of individual Democratic and Republican campaigns as well as independent, “super” political action committees working on the campaigns’ behalf. The 57th US presidential election is scheduled to be held on November 6, 2012.

It's all a smoke screen, both parties are controlled by the same people.

Again, your vote does not matter in my opinion. The "elected" are appointed/designated by a smaller group of individuals that let you think your vote matters. It's all a smoke screen, this is why I very rarely involve my self in the political forum or even pay attention.
However, I decided to venture this way just one time and maintain this one thread to try and inform the unsuspecting "sheeple" to not concern themselves with the rhetoric involving any elections, it is a waste of time and energy. You would have a better chance of changing things if you did not vote and instead, boycotted every voting station.
Then they would have a very hard time explaining how someone got "elected" without any votes. That would be the way to expose this sham once and for all.
DO NOT PRETEND to vote.
That will show them.

That's because you only see the one grain of sand. Yeah, the electoral college is who casts the actual vote, but the popular vote almost always influences their decision. If 2 million people think they are just one grain of sand, and exclude themselves from voting, then the other grains get all the say.
I cannot believe how dense much of America is over this.
