"Why should I vote? I hate both candidates."

GAHHH!!! There's going to be more than two candidates people! I can't understand these morons who claim they're not voting because neither candidate will be worth it and voting for a third party is basically giving a vote to Bush or simply throwing their vote away.

WRONG!!!

Not voting is the only way a vote is thrown away. The only vote for Bush will be votes for Bush (or those that the evil soulless vastards behind the "zero paper trail" electronic ballot machines will skew to Bush). If the choice is between not voting or voting independant then how the hell is voting independant going to be a vote for Bush? PLEASE someone explain this reasoning?

Voting for an independant isn't voting for Bush, but people feel like its throwing away a vote on a total non-contender. Many people are burnt out on the voting process because their issues are never the issues that polliticians champion.

There are a lot of under and non-representated Americans out there.

I try to combat voting apathy on a national scale, but I find it difficult. I find myself a lot more interested in local politics where a caucus can seem to make a difference.

Also contributing to voter apathy: Gore won the popular vote, but lost the electoral college vote. Its shit like that that makes people go, "Ehn. Fuck it. No matter how much we vote our stuff doesn't matter."
