I didn't say your degrading democracy if you don't vote George Bush. If I were in America, I'd likely vote for Michael Badnarik (spelling might be off).

well the difference is that voting for Michael Badnarik won't change anything anywhere.
voting for Kerry, you have a good chance of contributing to a change.
with the system there is in the US, I dont see why people waste their precious votes on a candidate that has absolutely no chance of getting the majority in the respective state, yet winning the entire election.

It's not about the change, the point of democracy is to vote who best represents your views so that citizens have at least some input on the government.

we cant argue about this, we just have different opinions. In my opinion voting a 3rd party candidate is a waste of your vote.

nice job taking it out of context again, benzino.
pappy:
i dont see voting against bush b/c you do not like what direction the country has gone in under his rule as a spit in the face of democracy. If you can back up how you feel i dont see it as a spit in the face. Now if your just going to vote against bush b/c its suddenly the cool thing to do and you dont kno the facts about bush or kerry, than that is a spit in the face of democracy. and the same goes for people that vote against kerry b/c they still think we caught the real man behind 9/11, saddam hussein.
