I Will Never Vote. Ever.

[LucasJC]

In general, politicians are evil. And I don't want to have anything todo with politics at all.

[Strongbow]

but if you don't vote then your vote gets added on to the majority which could mean you not voting helps a dictator get into power or something stupid like that

[Danavers]

So don't fucking vote.

[Richard]

Not taking a political stance, is in fact taking a political stance.

[Squidbit]

I'm so happy that I know that about you.

As long as I still have the freedom to choose my own career I don't care, because that's the only thing I want freedom for.

Another useless parasite in the society. Thanks.

As many have quoted, "If cannot complain if you did not vote".

So good luck being an open minded centralist.

[Hobzzz]

How does the government in the usa work anyways? Here it's whatever party has more seats in the house of commons or something.

[Zippy-MyMusic]

Start your own country.

[Lumber-Jax12]

This country is so fucked in the next 30 years, we have the most selfish and uninformed generation I have ever seen, and I am a part of it, makes me fucking sick.

Just watching the 'California On' viedos by Kassem G is funny, but sad at the same time, there is no doubt in my mind the chance of dictatorship is so likely in our genertaion its scary, you have people in COLLEGE who still don't know about North Africa, let alone where it is.

No,no you're right because its not like 7/10 kids in public have no idea what the hell is going on over there.

Also I love how you prove my point, instead of going off about how every gen has been selfish
you give an example that affects only YOU, also you make me question if you know whats going on over there.

Then who do you vote for when "none of the above" is not an option?

Nothing

[6r0undZ3r0]

If you don't vote, then don't complain about who is in office or whether or not a certain measure passes. You had the chance to contribute to make a change and you blew it off.

Yeah I'm the only person who goes to college. Don't get butthurt because people aren't as intelligent as you, that is what you believe right?

All I hear is, "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH."

[Magical-Zorse]

I'll be too busy to do anything of the sort.

Let me see if I can clear it up for you:

The US Congress has two houses of legislature, the House of Representatives and the Senate, both directly elected. The House is administered by the Speaker, selected from the House body by the majority party (currently Republican); the Senate is administered by the vice president (currently Democrat). The president (currently Democrat) is both head of state and head of government and holds all executive power; if the president is unable to perform his duties, the vice president becomes president, and the Speaker becomes vice president.

Under this system, it is entirely possible (and indeed happens regularly) for the legislative and executive branches of government to be controlled by different parties. For instance, in the later years of the Clinton and junior Bush administrations, Congress was under the direction of the other major political party; in the current administration, Congress operates under a Republican-controlled House and a Democrat-controlled Senate with a Democrat president and vice president. (It should be noted that historically the vice president was the presidential candidate who came in second, rather than a "running mate" of the same party.)

The judicial branch, the Supreme Court, is comprised of (currently) nine justices, nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Technically they're supposed to be impartial, but presidents have a habit of nominating justices whose track record (usually in law) is in line with their own views. Justices are appointed for life, or until they choose to step down.

So to summarize: the Democrats hold executive power, legislative power is split between Democrats and Republicans, the judiciary is allegedly right of center by a balance of five to four, and either major political party can gain or lose control of some or all of the government depending on who the people elect on a two year basis. Savvy?

If you don't believe in voting, don't. Become and anarchist or a communist.
