Re: No sensible person should ever take American politics seriously..... Big, you just joined the other 70% of Americans who also don't vote.
Why not do the opposite.....get out and vote and encourage as many people as you can to vote also. Educate yourself about the local elections and candidates and at least vote in those races. Do as I did and abstain in the presidential election, but still vote on the local, and state races. Those are the politicians most likely to actually affect your daily life anyway. Depending on your state, you can even write-in a candidate to vote for. Mickey Mouse always gets a few votes in every election. |
