"Fuck the vote...Abolish the 2 party monopoly!"


          

I understand that voting is cool, but we must find a way to relinquish the stranglehold that the Dems and Reps have on the political process in this country. I am all about voting, but it bothers me when i see people mobilizing those to vote when the only choice is bad and worse. Don't patronize me with the plethora of 3rd party candidates that dont have a homosexuals chance at a Christian Coalition meeting. Let me say one thing before i continue, i am voting for Ralph Nader and i campaigned for Bill Bradley in New Hampshire in January.

After saying that i must say that we put WAY too much emphasis on voting, cuz' voting is only the final act of a political cycle. Instead of getting people to vote we need to get people to take part in the political process as a whole.

I know the first argument is that voting leads people to the poltical process...
i believe that taking part in the poltical process leads to voting...

I believe that taking part in political process leads better candidates...

I think everybody needs to play their part in breaking the 2 party system. That is the most important act anyone can take part in. If this is not done there will be no democracy in this republic. We need to mobilize people the next four years to get 3rd parties power and restructure the political process in America.

BEFORE WE DO ANYTHING ELSE WE ADDRESS THIS IS ISSUE OR WE WILL NOT HAVE A VOICE AT ALL...

at the end of the day voting will be a moot point.

peace
