Voting is never about *one* vote. But every one vote adds to the whole that makes a difference. My contribution to kelly's fundraising didn't make a - oblique - I voted! Nov 4, 10:39 9
- But this discussion is about *his* one vote. It's not going to make a difference. - JaxSean - I Voted, dammit Nov 4, 10:47 7
  - But he loses the right to complain about how elections are run or turn out or anything about politicians - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 10:49 6
    - I missed the first amendment where that clause is in it. You'll need to point it out to me. - Will Hunting Nov 4, 10:54 1
      - It's not a law. It's common sense. You refuse to participate in elections, you are saying your voice does not matter - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 10:57
    - Yes he does. But that doesn't mean we can't still give him shit for bitching. -- nm - JaxSean - I Voted, dammit Nov 4, 10:52
    - I don't necessarily agree on this point. I shouldn't have to move to Alaska and vote every time in order to bitch about people like Ted Stevens. -- nm - Max Nov 4, 10:51 2
      - it's not the same, because you have the opportunity to vote for Prez everywhere. -- nm - loosilu - I voted! Nov 4, 10:54
      - if i could find a way to vote in this US election, I would. but i can't. so i have no problem speaking my mind about it. - Andie Nov 4, 10:53

Well thak the ever loving Maker that not everyone feels that way. Every vote matters. Every voice matters. Your vote *is* your voice. -- nm - TWuG Nov 4, 10:39 5
- My voice is my voice. My vote is my word of support. I don't support any one running. - Will Hunting Nov 4, 10:49 4
  - None of your local representatives? That's on crack. -- nm - Amy--I tried 3 times! Nov 4, 10:54 1
    - Maybe what Will needs to do is run for office. Become part of the solution -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 10:58
  - not one person, in any of the races for anything? did you actually read every person's platform on every issue? -- nm - Andie Nov 4, 10:50 1
    - I doubt it. That would crimp his apathy -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 10:51
