Didn't vote. Don't care about the results. Don't wanna know. I should be disgusted with myself, but i'm not.

If it's any consolation, California is a pretty much a dead lock for Kerry (thanks, SF and LA, for monkeyfucking whatever the rest of the state wants), so it's not like rone's unKerry or my Bush vote will matter all that much.

But, you see, I'd like to think that all votes matter (didn't the closeness of the 2000 election prove that? A few thousand Nader votes in New Hampshire, a few hundred votes, period, in Florida...).

I'd like to think that the mere act of voting matters.

I'm not going to waste my time trying to convince anyone not to vote for Bush. If they don't understand the danger he poses by now, there's nothing I can do to change their minds.

But anyone opposed to Bush who does not vote for the Democratic nominee really is wasting their vote, and cavalierly committing the country to four more years of destructive economic and social policies.

Oh, I do. But I also hope for the best.

I lived through the 2000 election too, but I came to very different conclusions.

[ratphooey.livejournal.com]

Rational or irrational, our conclusions are the same.

Vote.

[jwgh]

OK, but one difference is that my conclusion doesn't include demonizing people who come to other conclusions.

[ratphooey.livejournal.com]

Well, aren't you special?

The people who came to other conclusions in 2000 are responsible for our current political and economic situation. They deserve a little demonization.

Yeah, I guess what the world really needs is a lot more arrogance. People always eat that stuff right up.

Perhaps you are mistaking anger for arrogance.
