Why bother voting?

TheyKnowMyIP · 2011-10-13 01:29:14

These presedential "candidates" don't give a toss about you or your family, nor your country. It's really quite simple. This begs the question, why bother vote? Do you honestly care who gets into office? I don't put any faith in others to run my own affairs and look out for my interests, why should you? You are the only…

People will always betray you. You can count on that till the end. Human nature is a bitch. At least I can recognise this. Politics is nothing but bull****. It really is a load of crap. What do you reckon? These people do not have any sort of real power. That rests entirely with those who control the vast wealth of this country. Government is a front.

This is all noise as far as I am concerned. The real decisions are made behind the scences. The game is rigged folks.

Because these people are deluded. It's not rocket science ffs. I don't give a sh!t who votes, as long as it isn't myself. It's impossible to say for certain who is the right person for the job. WAY too many variables.

If you are counting on the government to bring prosperity and wealth + jobs, you will be waiting a very long time. You are the holder of your destiny, nobody else. As cliched as that sounds, it's true.

The only reason im voting is because of Michael D, a great man and a great mind from the west.
