People love to say this, as though everyone is going to just choose not to vote because the candidates are weak. If i choose not to vote because i think 2 candidates are weak, i can basically guarantee that the person i hate the most gets elected.
So while it really sucks that we are forced to choose between the lesser of two evils most of the time, we would be causing ourselves much more pain by simply not showing up, because someone will always show up to vote for one side or the other, and generally the bigger A-holes always have somewhat of a religious following.
Example. Obama.
None of this will change until politicians push people to the point of violent revolution, and we get rid of all these clowns.
Unfortunately, as long as 1 person is willing to vote, it does not serve you any benefit by not voting. I fully agree with the premise that they are pretty much all assholes, but simply not showing up to vote doesnt solve a thing, so long as 1 other person is willing to vote, you will lose every single time, and even if 1 person doesnt show up to vote im sure both sides have put in enough fradulent votes for themselves that someone would come out with votes.
Not much in this example, this is actually an example where it was basically 50/50 McCain would have added even more to the wars, and probably gotten us into a war in Libya with troops on the ground.
Obama saddled us with all kinds of new regulations, a shit stimulus bill, Obamacare, and crushed the economy, so the case you picked is actually pretty good, they were both unfathomably bad, and i actually stayed home in this election. You got me on this one.
However for the most part you can find a guy who will cause less damage, and as it pertains to Obama, both Romney and Perry will be far more competent than Obama, even though they are not perfect.
