    And then other way to look at it is that by not voting, you’re saying you’re completely fine with the choices and are willing to allow others to chose for you.

      What choice?

      Choosing between ketchup or mustard on your shit sandwich does you no good, if you don’t want a shit sandwich in the first place.

      If you’re not giving me a no-shit-sandwich option, why the hell should I reward you with my support?

        Then you’re choosing to allow others to decide for you.

        No matter how you look at it- you’re making a decision on who runs America- and your choices are:

        Democracy, or End Of Democracy.

        Vote to pick one, or don’t vote and one is picked for you. Either way- “neither” isn’t an option.

        It might be incorrect, because they don’t know your motives, but that’s the whole point of voting - showing your motives. In a voting democracy abstinence is begrudging consent to either candidate. The two party system forces this reality.

        George Carlin is dead, and I would probably laugh my ass off at the jokes he would make if he knew people were treating him like some kind of prophet.

        ROFL. Invoking a long dead COMEDIAN to illustrate a very current and very serious issue.

        If that’s not a perfect example of a schoolyard gotcha!

        I don’t know what is.
