I’ve been hearing a lot about how much we all hate and blame the government. How its completely corrupt and doesn’t have ANY of our interests at heart. How we should all stand up and tell Congress & the Senate that we’re fed up and we’re not going to take it anymore!
Really?
And how are we going to do that? By voting out every incumbent? We’ve done that. Hell we do that somewhere with almost every election! And the amusing thing is, what are we actually doing? Replacing politicians with what……???? Yup, with politicians. How is that an improvement?!
We all say we want change but the system is so big all our change actually changes nothing. Democrats get mad at Republicans for their beliefs and at other Democrats for not being Liberal enough! Republicans are so busy catering to the Big Money that is currently fucking them in the ass that I’m not sure even THEY are aware of what is actually coming out of their mouths!
And the masses are both confused, tired and feel powerless to do anything.
But today I had an interesting idea. If voting won’t fix it, how about NOT voting. Would that send a strong enough message? I mean… imagine it.. everyone just boycotts the polls. They’re all set up and no one shows. NO ONE gets re-elected NOR booted out. The confusion alone would grind everything to a halt with less protest or violence than anything alone. And all it would take on YOUR part is staying home for the day! Practically a win/win!
Yet I can foresee how even THAT won’t work. All it would take is one or two other people taking advantage of those NOT voting by slipping in a few who do, thereby guaranteeing a win. So obviously we’d have to pass an ordinance in every county or state that mandated every election have at least 50% of the populace vote or its invalid. Then we can actually send a message by not doing anything.
After all, we’re all lazy at heart or this would have been fixed with torches & pitchforks by now!
