If you do vote, and he still wins. At least you tried to get him out.

If they take away some right that you have, that someone else may not have done if you had voted.

Just because it's never been easy doesn't mean it's not harder now.

You're right about that. I'm waiting for some kind of revolution, but I don't think armed revolution is so feasible anymore. But I'm not content with planning to have a revolution when people continue to suffer...I'd rather help them concretely...NOW...without having to have them wait on something that just may not work. Maybe I don't know about many revolutionary movements, but what are they doing for the people now?
