Comment I have voted in every election possible... (Score 1) 401
...since I was eligible to vote. I was discussing the current state of political affairs with my mother this weekend and told her that I would be voting on Tuesday, but for the first time in my life I felt as though my vote wont make a difference at all. In my state (Maryland), if I vote for the Democratic candidates it's the status quo. If i vote for the Republican candidates it's the equivalent of thumbing my nose at the Democrats. If I vote for the third party (Libertarian) candidate it's just pulling votes away from one of the two candidates who will end up winning. If I write in a candidate, I'm throwing my vote away.
I feel very sad about this. It really is a shame.
