I'm so sick people thinking if they don't like the system, they can just not be a part of it. There will always be a system, and you will always be affected by it. There is no system that runs in autopilot. Even in the best case scenario, where there is revolution (we don't need to talk about the 50 years of violent unrest that follows violent revolution, right?) there will still be a system, you'll still be a part of it, it will still be vulnerable.

The Cost of freedom is eternal vigilance, the cost of not participating is even higher.

@RickiTarr Recent politics has been determined not by voters, but by those who didn`t bother, or were too disillusioned to vote,

@bobjmsn @RickiTarr

no, recent policy is determined by whose lobbyists spend the most on 'gifts' and 'donations'.

And how do you fix that?

You show the fuck up to vote

What does "the system is fucked" and walking away do?

You are simply ceding control to them

The lie is that you can just walk away

There's no where to walk away to

@benroyce @Thebratdragon @bobjmsn @RickiTarr We may actually have a new mayor in my town that is not a member of either party.

He ran a heck of a write-in campaign. We had the most write ins I've ever seen running the polls, enough to almost burn through all the ticker tape in the counting computer printing the individual write in rows.

@benroyce @Thebratdragon @bobjmsn @RickiTarr Most AMERICANS have nowhere to walk away to.

I love the "I didn't vote because both parties suck" crowd. It's like, yes, you've already opened up your anus to the throbbing cock of greedy capitalism.

The soap box hasn't worked.
The ballot box hasn't worked.
The jury box is barely holding and appears to be on the verge of failure.
