(OT:) THIS is why I abstain from voting sometimes:

That is fine, stay home and don't vote. But that doesn't absolve you of not performing your civic duty. It also shows us you can't make difficult decisions that have difficult consequences.

Never stay at home on election day. There is usually a third party. Granted this third party is usually a nut case and not going to win. If enough people vote for a third party, then maybe the major parties will get the idea they need to change. Many times the elections will be close and if the third party voters had voted for the loosing major party , then they may have won.

I don't even know who I voted for in the last presidential election for president. Just picked the third party. Even in other elections, I usually vote for the canidate that has not been in office. Just don't like most of the ones that have been in it for years, time for a new person and idea.

Good thinking, Slick. You must feel proud to have pissed away your vote.
