I used to believe all that stuff too. My vote didn't matter, they're all corrupt, the system needs to be radically restructured and taking part in it is a necessary validation of that evil. The 2000 election and the Iraq war changed my mind. Add to that John Roberts and Samuel Alito, and I don't see how any responsible lefty can refuse to engage with the system.
Who said my vote doesn't matter, I didn't.
That would be the parallel discussion with skerjva, who is encouraging thevoid not to vote because it's only outside action that matters.
sean, you have once again misread what i wrote. first, i disagreed with lise for writing "voting is the only voice we have in government" - this is nonsense, we have all sorts of voices in government. Second, i told void not to worry about his tossing out doubt about voting this year. that is his decision, i support that.
