issues of politics and government: Voting
Politics and voting is democracy in action. wow, something remembered from government class. America isnt a pure democracy, not every single voice is heard when an issue arises. For good reason, what could be accomplished with a billion different comments being screamed out all at once. So blah blah blah... we vote on things sometimes, but mostly we vote on people who will then vote on things for us.
the problem we have is that this system only works best when there is complete participation. of course not everybody gets their way no matter how many participate, its all majority rule, but if the majority of the people who are participating are not making decisions that you like, then does it make sense for you then to be a little bitch and not participate does it?

You see, i've come to find that people who choose not to vote are not only doing themselves a disservice, but are doing anybody else within their common demographic(s) a disservice. The majority of young eligible voters do not vote. This means to politicians that they do not have to worry about what the young eligible voters think, because the young eligible voters are not determining whether or not they stay in power. SO as long as young eligible voters continue their slacking off trend, our word means nothing.

To those of you who say, "My vote does not count," you are correct. You are so correct that you are a self-fulfilling prophecy. Politicians only pay attention to the groups of people who keep them in office. If the majority of your group, or demographic, says it doesnt matter or it wont count if you vote then nothing changes. Yes, bitches, you're fucking right. Congratulations on your backward progress.

To those of you who say that there is no choice in the ballot. Well, blame the bitches i just talked about (you're probably also in that group, so, yes, it is your own damn fault). Again, politicians only care about the groups of people who keep them in office. if you want a politician that will appeal to your goals and dreams of your American life, you first have to establish that you are a participator. Yes, that means voting for the dipshits and fuckheads that are currently on top, but if you dont play along at some point then nothing changes. Yes, bitches, there are no good choice on the ballots. Not until you get off your fucking asses and make it known that you are there and you don't want the same old shit..

To those of you who still dont get it and to those of you who still refuse to vote for your own selfish ass reasons: Thank you for keeping the dumbass, warmonger, greedy, narrow-minded, and power-hungry shitheads in power.
For the record, I do not believe that President Bush is a bad person. I believe that he is a bad choice to lead a nation. I voted straight Democratic in the 2004 election. I know it did not mean much, but I did it because it has to start somewhere and I figured maybe my friends would follow suit if one of us started. Guess that didnt work too well...
