[Krimel]
It really doesn't matter what gav does since he couldn't vote here if he
wanted to. But, woods, if you go ahead with this plan to "protest" through
inaction, what do you think the net result will be?
woods:
I'm not planning on protesting through inaction. Thanks for the concern.
Krimel:
What separates your "principled" non-vote from the non-votes
of those too ignorant, stupid or drunk to exercise their franchise?
woods:
I mean showing up at the polls and voting no-vote. If I could vote
constitutional party then I would vote that party in.
Krimel:
It is hypocritical to whine about the "way things are" and then fail to take
the one action at your disposal to influence change. The fact is things are
the way they are because citizens do not take their responsibilities
seriously. Non-votes impress no one. They accomplish nothing but to
strengthen the position of powerful and monied interests.
If you are dissatisfied with the choices on the ballot you are always free
to write in vote for RMP or Noneof Theabove. At least with a write in vote
you are making a legitimate political statement.
woods:
Maybe I'll go that route. If I do a write in that is not accredited by the
state (PA), then that vote will not count, but I guess writing in no-vote
might be worse than not putting in a person name. For a no-vote might
mean keep Bush in office and that would be terrible.
