I
really hate this way of thinking, and actually, my friend and I were
just discussing it on Thursday. Voting DOES change things. That's why
we do it. And for every one person who thinks their vote doesn't
matter, there are thousands more like him. If no one voted, nothing
would get done and our democracy would cease to exist.
My feeling? If you don't vote, you don't get to complain. You don't like how the government is run but didn't bother to put in your two cents to change it? Sounds like a personal problem to me. If people like this put in the time and energy they use complaining about their lack of input in the government into actually voting, maybe I'd give a damn when they open their mouths. But then, that's just me.
(And this is one of my buttons. Can you tell?)
