Election Day

Hey all,
As I stated before, I'm not just about women. I find politics to be interesting, so much so that sleeping with a Republican will cause the little Colonel downstairs to turn to ashes. I guess it's good that I don't ask about politics when talking to women.
Anyway, I decided not to vote this year. Yes, I know; complain all you want, I will not change my mind. The act of voting in the United States holds absolutely no merit whatsoever. It is possible to win the popular vote, but lose the actual election (cough, 2000). Until the electoral college is reformed and the two party system abolished, then individual opinions won't matter. Let's put it this way:
-People are (on a majority) divided into two sides: democrat or republican. This leaves very little room for compromise of ideals.
-People usually vote along party lines, regardless of a nominee's positions on key issues. As long as they are in the party, those registered to the party will vote for them (a majority of the time).
-The individual's opinion thus does not matter, because he/she will always choose the candidate of their party. Very few Americans actually research the issues for themselves, and then make an educated decision.
-There are also those people who vote not based on the candidate's positions, but rather their religion. This usually caters to Republicans, though religion should not matter in politics at all. No matter if the nominee is Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Atheist, Agnostic, Hindu, Buddhist, or Pagan- it should not matter.
-Because of all this, people usually choose candidates that don't actually represent the individual's opinions on important stances.
That's just my take on the American electorate. I'm a Naderite, since he represents to the letter the country that I would live in. A country san corporate ownership, a country without outsourced jobs, and one which values science and progress rather than ruling and overseeing the world.

That's all for now.
