Voted this up. That was invigorating.

I upvoted, then I realized my vote doesn't matter!

There's very real difference between the two parties, otherwise "increased polarization" would not be an issue.

When you don't vote, you vote for someone else's vote to be made stronger. Hope you agree with them.

"Increased Polarization" is an issue because it's played up by the PR industry. It's not a reality, the two parties are incredibly similar when you look at the actual policies. They're both for the wealthy of America and they're both for the constant control of the worlds resources with our military.

The parties are not similar enough that I would vote for BHO, nor you for Romney.

As civilizations go the choice is between a dictatorship or a semi-plutocracy. There's more freedom under the latter and an improved standard of living, even if it's not spread equally.

Whoa. Voting totally sucks ASS now!

Tuna salad. Definitely.

My self-post sense is tingling. The cynicism and bitter diatribe sounds Repug. The poor in this country vote at lower ratios than the rich. The poor are more easily dillusioned by shit like this, and they tend to vote Democrat. Convince them voting won't matter anyway, and maybe some will stay home.

*elections *talks and there's some *conspiracy stuff in there, too.

Adding video to channels (Conspiracy, Election, Talks) - requested by xxovercastxx.

No, not Tuna! Grilled Cheese!

I was thinking the same thing, and the youtube user has no other content. and the youtube user joined a week ago, immediately posted the video and has had no activity since... so is this the future of political advertisements?

Here's why your vote matters.

You represent various groups. The more that group votes, the more politicians in parties, the parties themselves, or new parties gravitate to those groups and their views.

If you're a truly moderate, open minded person, if you don't vote, and the crazies do, guess who the candidates gravitate towards? The crazies.

With that said, I don't encourage people to vote. If you're too apathetic or stupid to understand this, I don't want political leaders trying to earn your vote.

Depending on what state you live in, your vote for president may not have significant impact, but down ticket they certainly do. If you are really that lazy, just come out and admit it.
