Four presidents have been elected despite losing popular vote and if folks were to even go through a highschool civics level exploration of the electoral college reveals its all smoke and mirrors. The referendum process is bought and sold by special interest, upwards of 70% of legislative is verbatim written by lobbyists.. and y'll honestly want to cast your lot with all that nonsense to.what, pretend your empowered when in actuality your only further empowering the corruption.. when you play a rigged game you are by ontology supporting the rigging. Fuck that. Vote for yourself. Boycott

Yeah, right, let's not even try. Party til the boat goes down. Meanwhile, all of the GOP rednecks and tea partiers are organized and motivated. But those who oppose them can't be bothered to get off their asses to vote, much less be organized and active at other times. It's easier just to hang out at the coffee house or brewpub and posture. Yes, there are a lot of problems in the system. But voting for the lesser of evils is a valid concept and is much better than doing nothing.
But hey, don't let me influence you. Do nothing and let the bad guys win by default. The Mitch McConnells and John Boehners of the world thank you!
