RE: Voting from Space – You Don’t Have an Excuse

in #life8 years ago

Basically yes. Yet it doesn't stop the masters from forcing you to do things. If they increase my taxes in a local area in a way I can try to stop then not voting will not stop it. I could stand on principle, but I might as well either die, or march myself off to prison. I choose to be a realist. Do what I need to do for my family and I to survive and try to help educate more people while I further educate myself so that maybe in the future we can end this crap.

Sort:  

On a smaller, local level I do view voting as semi-legit when used as self defense, like from tax increases and such. This federal election though, it's literally pointless. I see not voting as a vote of no-confidence in the whole system, and it does send a message, even though voters like to put down those who don't vote and say they have no right to complain.

I almost didn't pick a presidential candidate. My thought process was that I'd have some dots not filled out in my mail in ballot. So I didn't want to risk having them toss it out as invalid.

The way I see it. If they can force you to do things against your will then you definitely have the right to complain.
