"Deez nuta" Brilliant option
TL;DR no vote gives as much as half a vote for the worst option possible and nothing for something better Please don't let this die in usersub don't care about internet points
Don't just vote. Don't just vote from what you see on TV, Don't just vote on what you see on one singe channel( Especially fox news, buy still you should be better informed than show's like Daily Show, Last Week Tonight, Colbert Report). And for fucks sake DO NOT vote because a candidate for any position is from a party of any sort (democrat, republican, liberal, conservative, any of those) Choose to vote for two reasons. 1 You are amazed at the person after 2-6 hours of research still looks great for the things you believe it... or 2.. at worst vote for someone
Point 2 is a new thing for me that is having me register for the first time. That will have me vote for the first time at 31. The first made me feel like my vote should count as the system should work. Without all the complication the manipulation the twists and bullshit... all that that devalues your vote. Point 2 is the difference between being tricked sheep and the wolves corralling society in the right direction and devastation the assholes that would lead us astray
When you vote for some one as generic, boring and pandering as Hilary Clinton, then you are at the very least making sure things can't get worse. And yes... they can and will get worse. Reality doesn't suck, it's not hard, it's one thing only, it's a balance as true and uncompromising more than any other measure. When you compromise to say you won't act until it really counts reality measures out a fraction of a choice as much for you as against you.
So no vote gives as much as half a vote for the worst option possible for the position. (Votes are yes or no, multiple choice or in cases where there is one candidate you can or should be able to write in some one. "Deez nuts" was way more brilliant than at first glance)

"There's a government behind the government I can't control" - Bill Clinton that's why I don't vote, it REALLY doesn't matter

"Point 2 is the difference between being tricked sheep and the wolves corralling society in the right direction" Uh?

2-6 hours is more than minimum honestly. if you dont care for politics, take 10-20 minutes googling then go vote

It is because the vote truly doesn't matter. The vote counters decide, or "find" the necessary votes miraculously.

Try having more than two voting options.

What if we don't vote because no candidate is worth a fuck?

2 all candidates must be replaced and election held again
ShadowTeller
a fraction of people elect folks, because the people that don't vote give what little value it is to the nuts that do. put in Deez Nuts

Unfortunately, that is a decision I had to make last election (Canadian). Wish there was a No Confidence option. If enough people pick it 1
