so, what's at stake if people spend 30 minutes next election day voting for almost anyone but shrubya?

is it just that you don't like to see anyone talking at all about participating in the electoral process because, in principle, it is pointless to think one can vote socialism into being? ok. i understand your position, but i think it's kind of like pissing at a hurricane. people like to vote and talk about who they'll vote for and why, just like they like to talk about and watch (and even just follow it in the papers) sports. in this case, people just grind their favorite axe(s), using their position on a politician (or party, as in the case of Greens or Dems like Nathan and Brad) as the tree stump upon which they rest their axe. so? they'd do that about anything!
