Interesting this post was as the top of my feed. I actually watched this video last night and what he said really pissed me off. As someone who chooses not to vote it really irritates me when people take the route of saying "you're a ____ if you don't vote". I think what people often forget is that voting in the United States is a right not an obligation. No different than my right to bear arms, it's a choice and not a requirement. Minus those who have lost their rights, having the right includes the right to not partake in said event.
This coupled with a radio advertisement I heard on the radio today basically saying the same thing "you're a piece of shit if you don't vote" almost lead me to going on facebook and ranting about the subject. I'm not one to discuss anything on facebook so that would of been out of my norm.
This shit pisses me off and I unfortunately like CK less now because of it.
Amen. Couldn't agree more. It's just a religious ritual that legitimizes the status quo. I mean, imagine we could only vote for one person and we chose not to vote? Would we be pieces of shit then too? Oh no, but we have TWO glorious choices. That changes everything (facepalm)
