[Vision2020] I didn't vote for this

[Donovan Arnold]

Keely,
 
Being allowed to poke holes in a piece a paper isn't the same as having a vote. It is just theater for people who think they have an impact, like people thinking  taking off my belt and shoes at the airport stops terrorism.
 
We don't select the candidates. That is done for us. When seven of the eight candidates presented to us make better contenders for the Special Olympics or as characters on the next FOX half-hour sitcom than President of the United States, it is obvious who has to win. I could personally select better suited men and women on my neighborhood block for President than the whole of the Republican Party has managed this election.
 
It is controlled before the vote; Romney will be the Republican nominee, and Obama will be the Democratic Nominee, Obama will win the electoral vote.  The higher the office the more controlled, the lower the office, the less controlled. That is now how the system works. 
 
Donovan Arnold

I'm sorry you feel that way, given that hundreds of millions of people around the world are denied the right to express their views at the polls, and that even in the U.S., hundreds of thousands of Black men and women were unjustly kept from the polls in our lifetimes.  All of them would love to "waste paper" to ensure a better life for themselves, their families, and their fellow Americans.

I have resigned myself to the fact that it doesn't matter what I do, say, or how I vote in Idaho as a Democrat, I cannot change things on a national or state level. I don't even vote in these elections anymore it is just pollution going to the polls and wasted paper. I firmly believe that there is nobody in national or Idaho state politics that gives a damn about me, or anyone like me, or what is important to us.

I'm writing in Chuck Kovis, unless I can get him on the ballot.

Are you not voting at all? Or for Romney?
