Not voting is a kind of vote. It means "None of the Above" and when enough people stop voting, that creates a drought of votes. The parties have to notice that half of Americans are staying home on election day, and it isn't so much out of laziness as disgust.
Elections are decided now by which candidate disgusted the fewest people.
My vote has to be earned. It pisses me off when people say I should vote to keep the other guy out. Bullshit. You don't get my vote just because the other guys sucks more than your guy does.
Give me a candidate who deserves my vote and I will happily give it to him or her.
When you give someone your vote, it makes them believe they are doing something right. If they are NOT doing something right, you'd be an IDIOT to vote. You are just ENCOURAGING them!
It is okay to vote on local Measures and for dog catcher and stuff like that. You don't have to fill out the whole ballot.
In fact, that just tells them even louder that you voted for NONE OF THE ABOVE at the national level.
i'll vote in the state Elections in two more years again..
