How important is voting?
Are you part of the solution, or are you part of the problem?
Personally, I don't deny the feelings of futility, but at the very least I'm not approving and I can say, "Don't blame me, I didn't approve of what they're doing(by either my action or inaction)."
- Very.
- Important, but futile.
- Meh.
- Not very.
- Not at all.
- Other
Are you part of the solution, or are you part of the problem?
- If you're an idiot/uninformed voter, you're part of the problem. You're lazy and/or a sucker for the politicians.
- If you don't vote at all, because you don't care (and, hence are probably not even here at Debate Politics to read this), you're part of the problem. You're letting the politicians have their way unchallenged.
- If you don't vote at all, because you think it's futile, you're part of the problem. I don't give a rat's arse how informed you are, or even if you're correct in your conclusions, you're still a sucker for the politicians by providing complicit approval for their actions.
- I'd rather you be incorrect and vote (provided you're sincere and earnest in your research), than correct and not vote. You may not be correct in your conclusions, but at least you're not a sucker or an enabler. I can accept that.
