but seriously, voting is a fraud.
if you believe that your vote counts for something, you've already sold yourself to the system. vote for what? the worse of two evils? isn't there a third option like stand up for yourself?
i am convinced myself that any aim or objective that a person seeks to achieve in regards to our society (be it america, the west, or the world as a whole) can achieve this aim entirely with out voting. In fact, it seems plainly obvious to me, that voting is imitating action, and that people who vote for things in America are really just half-assed, if they were serious, they would evolve to the action phase. voting is not an action, it is the excuse of the truly apathetic yet supposedly participating "voter" to do nothing more.

I'll ask the question again, if an issue raises such strong feelings in you such as homelesness, what exactly are you doing about it?
Do you do any voluntary work to alleviate their plight?
None of the above involves voting
