voting is pretty much pointless in my state. we've been conservative for the past twelve centuries so all our electoral votes are goin to the republican. so who you votin' for? the hot chick or the black guy? ...i'd like to see that on fox news someday.
that mccain / palin one is pretty funny. though i've read that if more dems get off their butts and vote, many places wouldn't be quite so conservative. just saying. but whatever you wanna do, people...win one for the red states, then.
huh? What's an excuse? The fact that the electoral system has been hijacked from the American sheeple, rendering our voices impotent from effecting realistic change? The 2000 election as well as the 2004 election were stolen by the republican party when both Gore and Kerry won with a decisive lead. With this upcoming election, there is absolutley no reason to believe that anything at all has changed. As a sidenote, I become thoroughly sickened when I see celebrities like P. Diddy saying things like "vote or die" as though they have the first clue about the nature of the political process or anything else that has any substantive value in the world. Every 4 years these pathetic celebrities come out of their mansions and off their red carpet to "inspire" people to partake in a process that is essentially dead and then return to their grand palaces the rest of the time. My opinion is, if you're not going to be a REAL activist (read: FULLTIME activist), then shut the fuck up when these charades take center stage every 4 years. If you want to effect real change...the only solution is to peacefully and militantly take it to the streets and shut down city hall. PERIOD.
