I DEMAND A CHANGE. How can I possibly demand a change and not get out and vote for that change?
Thank you.

It's Tuesday morning and the wife and I just returned from our drive to our rural polling place at the old school house. We were voters 5 & 6. Here in Texas, the governor's race is the race that everyone is watching. We are hoping for a change but doubt if it with happen.
Voting is a real priviledge, we don't pass on it...

In my opinion, if you don't vote you lose your right to bitch about what's going on

I voted for change. I suspect things will for the better.
If you didn't yet, maybe this will motivate you.
Let's show them who's boss.

It's true, it may not make a difference. My vote may not be counted. And I'm actually betting that no matter how many people vote, fraud will prevail and the control of the House and Senate will not change. But I can't NOT vote. It may be important for the future and I'll not give up.

I'm sorry, but what exactly does that mean...?

Why would I vote? Your vote means nothing, the secret government runs everything and decides everything.

So many people are not voting because, in all honesty, there's only two parties to choose between and they're both the same corrupt scumbags in different clothing.
I'm in the UK but I'd feel pretty apathetic about the whole thing as well. Now, if someone wanted to lead a revolution and install real parties that are actually for the people then I'd be well up for that. If someone were to lead that revolution I'm sure you'd find that 50% would be behind them as well.
