If the answer to 'does everyone here of age and legally able to vote?' Isn't yes then you're part of the problem.

why waste your damn time tho

Are you for serious, or just trying to troll?

The American electoral system comes down to who can better afford to rig the election in their favor. Votes mean nothing.

It's sad that you're so easily influenced that you actually believe that.

lol grow up

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

Such adult. Grownup Wow. And what does this 'being a grownup' consist of?

[xp-erverse.livejournal.com]

Arguing with 14 year olds on the Internet about the American plutocracy, apparently.

Why am I wanting this grownup thing again?

While cynical, Mr. Quire is also not incorrect. Your electoral system is outdated and far too easily corrupted by powers with far more resources than any of us.

And yet the answer of 'Not to play' doesn't work any better. You don't change a system by allowing those in power to continue to corrupt it.

Sometimes the answer is to change the game entirely. Removing oneself from the system in order to better point out the invalid nature of the game is a perfectly acceptable strategy.

Except it doesn't - because then you get individuals like Trump and the Tea Party candidates. Not voting, and not participating doesn't work. It just means that the people making the decisions get blank checks because their opponents didn't bother to turn up.

You wanna watch the world burn, be my guest but don't expect me to thank you for your 'non-participation' bullshit stances.
