People Who Vote Don't Have a Clue

Post by bobevenson »

Why do they do it? Please, somebody, give a single good reason for going to the trouble of voting. Doing a million other things instead is obviously the rational alternative, isn't it?

Have you ever voted in any election? Once you decide to activate the AEP, will you vote for yourself? How many reasons can you give against voting? What is the purpose of an election? What are the million other alternatives?

The only election I have ever voted in was for Champagne Sherry for Home Coming Queen, the principle of which will be the modus operandi of the American Energy Party (AEP). Voting is probably the most useless activity on the planet in that it is 100% guaranteed to accomplish absolutely nothing for the voter or anybody else.
