Part...Sophia, I totally get what you're saying. Part of our problem, that I'm especially seeing now as it's happening, is that people don't start paying attention until a couple of months before a presidential election, and by that time, the candidates have already been chosen for us by the media. I became aware of an alternative option in 2008 with Ron Paul. And in 2012, MANY more people will have been awakened as well. It is happening now. People who don't normally vote are going to vote for him. Democrats are changing parties to vote for him. Independents are voting for him. People who have never donated to a candidate, and people who have never gotten involved in a campaign whatsoever are campaigning for him. I have just finished his book, The Revolution: A Manifesto. Checked it out from the library, along with Libery Defined. I have found my candidate, and I will not have to vote the "lessor of two evils" this election. People who want real change will take a serious look at Ron Paul and not just let the media chose our candidate. Once we all wake up, going to the polls will be a pleasure!Eviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06856010546964996867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565921628653209307.post-68912183713452256122011-12-22T09:01:18.765-06:002011-12-22T09:01:18.765-06:00What does it matter if we can vote if all the peop...What does it matter if we can vote if all the people we can vote for believe the same basic ideas (we have to continue the process of globalisation, economic liberalism, finance capital and consumerism are all good things etc) and only disagree on minor issues?<br /><br />I've voted every election but I always felt bad afterward because I was forced to vote for people I disagreed with on almost every issue.<br /><br />That is the real source of apathy imo. Voting feels like lying and giving approval to people you don't approve of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
