realsorienYou know, I made a response to something ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nauta said in response to joshuwain's admittedly over-the-top initial posting about voting... And since I put it up I've been thinking about it. And getting rather more irritated.
You see, we in the States vote for higher state offices and federal positions once every two years. If you count the primary votes, that means we have the right and opportunity to express our position and opinions on our leadership every two years, and can cause things to change of whatever is currently being done displeases us.
In actuality, less than half of the population actually expresses that right and opportunity.
Its ONE OR TWO FUCKING HOURS (at most!) EVERY TWO FUCKING YEARS. WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?
I see exactly four reasons for not voting. Apathy, Stupidity, Age and Being incapable due to a medical situation. Only the last two are an excuse.
Or are you all happy letting other assholes decide what your world will be like?
And to the rest of the world. We who actually vote here are sorry that our system is fucked up by people who don't seem to give a damn. And I apoligise to friends whom don't vote that I'm pissing off here, but goddamn it, this IS important!
