the lesser of 2 evils

i can't understand for the life of me - people that say, "well, looking at my voting options, i'll vote for the lesser evil of 2 evils." evil, right... you do know what that implies? "well if you don't vote you have no say in what goes on." WHAT? are you kidding me. i don't understand how that propaganda sank so fast in the minds of americans.

being presented with a line up of people that are worthless and i have to choose one, i'd choose none. that is an option as well. that is my option. i choose not to put anyone in power that i don't feel i can trust, or is a leader for the people. you can't trust any of these people. they don't care about you or me. they will only make there lives better and forget about you. in fact we don't even exist to them. we exist as stepping stone votes, not as individuals.

the truth is if we all didn't vote for any of these people, you can believe that will make the biggest impact and have the loudest voice ever in american history.

imagine that...

but that is unpatriotic. that is undemocratic, that is plain ignorant. that is dangerous. that is not american. why? because we wouldn't be "behaving" the way they expect you to behave. to follow the painted line they want you to follow. it's interesting that the more they tell you "you need to follow these rules, you need to participate this way, you need to believe in everything we do." the more our freedom to question and to even demand change seems to be unamerican.

your vote is not your voice. i choose not to vote because these people set in place by the system are not on my side. that is the voice i want america to hear. not "gee, i'll vote for the lesser of 2 evils like you want me to; rock the vote!"
