(no subject)
Nov. 6th, 2007 06:55 amI just voted. If any of my friends are going to fail to vote because "all the candidates suck and I will only vote for someone in whom I truly believe, not just the least evil," then I propose that you reach down and grab your dick or your slit and pledge to it and yourself never to date again, because if you held your romantic life to the same standard as you seem to hold public officials, you'd never get laid. If you're thrilled with your current partner, partners, situation, or livestock as the case may be, then think back and reflect on the perfection that was your dating life before you settled down with him, her, them, or it and determine if you left or were left by all those perfect prior relationships. Did you demand as much perfection from those people you let touch, suck, and fuck your body as you demand from those who control you and your community's financial and phsyical well being?
It is irresponsible and insane to demand perfection from your public officials, and to subject yourself to the uncontrolled will of strangers because of the "lack of perfection" in the system. If you're just a bottom in your personal, political, and financial life - happy to be the compliant plaything of everyone around you, then don't vote. If you give a damn about yourself or anything in the world other than yourself then you owe it to yourself and them to try to make a difference. While you're at it, recycle that paper.
Another thought - would you vote for you? If so, why didn't you run? What do you look like on paper? Would the public find flaws in you or your platform?
Read, research, and vote.
