Comment One good reason to vote. (Score 1) 751
By not voting, you're opinion isn't heard in the arena that politicians really listen to. Granted that in a presidential election, you have a choice of two evils, but there is almost always (and definitly is this year) a lesser evil. Don't get me wrong, a system like the US government, were it a business, would have gone bankrupt long ago. On the other hand, we can vote against the people who will make it worse than it is by their own shortsightedness. Not voting accomplishes a fool (Bush) being elected. Don't even consider voting for Nader or one of the other candidates: They have no chance of winning, and are only taking away votes from the person who would cause the least damage.
