Reply #110: Change it. Absolutely.

[Pithlet]

Giving up and doing nothing and letting the other side run away with the win changes absolutely nothing. I agree with everything you just said, as long as the solution advocated is not pouting, stamping feet and refusing to vote.

Absolutely nothing is as bad as the Republicans remaining in power. Nothing. I can't believe anyone would see what 4 years of Bush has done to this country, and still declare they will sit it out next election. I just cannot understand that. I will never look at the people who lost their jobs and homes, at the women who were refused birth control, at the children who's education is being gutted, at couples who are refused the right to marry and have their children ripped from them because they're gay, and think that sitting out the election and destroying a vote that could help get the Republicans out that they're out of luck because I wanted to make a statement. No one can convince me that all of this shit would have happened if Gore had been president. No one.
