Re: 101

Huh. You make a good point. I don't think I'm voting this year, partially because I don't know if I can/want to bother with getting an absentee ballot (since last time it worked so well...got it the day it was due in), but partially because I can't decide whether I'd like to have a man who was a POW for awhile sitting on the button, or a man who smiles just enough that he sets me on edge every time I see a picture of him.*

And now I feel better about that. We're always told it's voter apathy, and the whole "Rock the Vote!" thing, but in the end...it's not apathy if you can't pick either in good conscience, is it?

Sorry, babbling, it's just that you helped me come to a bit of a realisation.

...and I always think of Futurama at times like this. Oh politics... I can't stand anything about MM, but if Optimus Prime ran for President...


*I have better reasons than this.

No, I don't think it's apathy at all, at least when it's a decision you've thought about. And for a lot of people who haven't really thought about it, it's just that they've become so sick of seeing people who live in an entirely different world talk about the same old bullshit that has nothing to do with their everyday lives, the apathy comes from a disconnect which is the fault of the politicians and the political system, not the people they don't reach.

I always struggle with the same thing come election time because we're so conditioned to feel that it's the right thing to do, and it's better to pick the least awful of the choices than risk letting the most awful get in. But to grossly exaggerate things in order to make a valid point, if I were given the choice of voting to be ruled by Hitler, Stalin, or Mao, I think I'd be forgiven for opting out of voting at all.

I do vote in local elections though, because they're your at a level where you have some hope of actually changing things in your local community. I think the US is stronger in that area than the UK, though.
