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