I would like to take a moment to encourage everyone who lives in the USA to go out and Vote today. I will.

(Anyone responding to this thread bear in mind the following: The mods have said that we can say that we will vote, and that people should vote, or that we have voted: BUT only as long as we don't say for what, or who, or why: Savvy?)

As a Canadian, I also encourage you people to vote, since you've got no right complaining about what happens if you didn't make an effort.

Unless you're complaining that the system itself doesn't work and none of the choices you're given are good ones.

Change doesn't happen without effort. So get out and vote, school was cancelled for my sibilings today so that you can do it. Make the suffering of my babysitting worth it.

i took advantage of absentee voting in my state.  I was able to sit down with my ballot and a computer and do research on every race on the ticket instead of just believing the latest radio ad or card i received in the mail.

I swear, the one race is so bad that every week i have a stack of mail where each candidate bashes the other and sometimes over the same thing, "Candidate A wants to raise your taxes"  "Candidate B wants to raise your taxes"

I swear it pretty much comes down to "Candidate A kicks puppies"  "Candidate B eats babies."

I voted for the one that eats the babies, i think...

but yes, get out and vote but dont just vote party or whoever has the funniest ad.  dont believe all the hype and negative campaigns. give it some thought, do some research and select the candidate who's stance on real issues screws you over less than the other person.

Remeber, if you don't vote then you forfeit the right to complain about whoever wins the election. You can always spoil your ballot, as this will still show up in the final result.

Not voting at all implies that you don't care, which might not be the case but unless you do something then the rest of the world will assume that you can't be bothered...
