Poll: Please do not vote

[Easykill]

I reckon people should vote cos otherwise there is no democracy any more cos the only people who vote are those who want benefit to themselves (eg, lower taxes for the rich) and cause hassle for everyone else. We might as well be living in the middle ages again.

While I'm not totally in favour of what the OP is saying, I strongly disagree with you.

Also-

You're playing a dangerous game, Easykill.

It's far too late to go back now.

Should check out the video on youtube titled 5 friends (uncensored)
Its a really good video by a bunch of famous people to encourage voting, and the first minute or so is pretty funny, all these famous people telling you not to vote.

Wow, didn't realize so many people here were against voting. I guess this reflects the younger skew of this site.

Anyways, I would say there are reasons to vote. First of all, if you vote, you have an excellent reason to *****. And an excuse. As in - I voted for the other guy, fuck Bush. Or I voted for Bush but he lied to me - he didn't do the things he promised. Fuck Bush!

Also, while it is true that in US the electoral college system is asinine, if you live in a battleground state you have every reason to vote. And this time around there are a ton of those. If the margin of victory for a candidate less than 5%, and the poll margin of victory is also less than 5%, then your vote could actually weigh a lot. Remember what happened in Florida in 2000 - a few thousand votes decided things, I think.

This is presuming that the election fraud like in Ohio in 2004 doesn't happen. But even then you can ***** like crazy saying that somebody stole your vote. Fuck the Republican chicanery.
