Poll question: Do you honestly believe that your vote will determine the outcome of the 2008 primaries?
Feel free to list your reasons, attack or defend our electoral process, or call me an asshole.

1. My vote absolutely will....But no one else's will-
Edited on Tue Jan-08-08 11:10 PM by GreenTea
Because my vote has a special magnetic dust on it, electronic voting machines won't be able to change my vote.

I invented the magnetic dust last night......

While I was happily dreaming in bed, right after enjoying some great Humboldt County organic.... no one else has this dust but me...

Everyone else's vote is at the mercy of the easily hackable machines....But not mine, only my vote will count and make the difference!!!

2. It probably won't matter
due to a corrupt press, unreliable voting machines, corporate campaign contributions, "super delagates", and insider deals but I'm voting anyway.

5. I'm trying to muster a fuck to give, but I'm afraid I may have given up.
I guess I deserve whatever happens if I don't participate.

9. My vote doesn't hit 'till May
I live in Nebraska.. everything will be decided by May (i hope).. so my vote is worthless. And, almost worthless in a blood red state like this as well - because they've never come close to voting for a Dem. SIGH.

11. Doubtful. My primary is in May.
I have a feeling I won't be represented either.

12. I'm no longer going to be the fool begging my neglectors for attention.
If they wanted me to abandon the system, they may just have won.
