Interesting.

Honestly, though, I don't think that anything much significant will ever be achieved through the ballot box.

There might be minor surface change, but nothing that will really last. Go ahead, vote and campaign for whoever you choose, but don't mistake that with working for longlasting change.

Maybe you missed the concept that America is a democracy... if you don't want to vote, don't. But don't expect rational people to say "Waaaah! I'm not getting exactly what I want right this second, so voting must not make a difference! Waaaah!"

Voting does make a difference, and there are entirely too many instances to point out. I'll give one though - civil rights acts. Do you think that would have happened with a Republican or Dixiecrat in office?
