DON'T VOTE JUST TO VOTE! If you are voting FOR someone you shouldn't be voting.. Voting AGAINST someone can be seen as supporting the person you vote for, even if you don't.
I don't buy people saying that everyone should vote... Everyone SHOULD NOT vote unless they are aware of the issues and the candidates. Everyone SHOULD get more involved in the process to LEARN more about what is going on. We always point the blame at the "politicians" for all the negative aspects of government. It's OUR government! WE put them there!
If we the people want to see "changes" then we need to get involved and do our homework... If you just went and voted for a certain party "because I always have" or "because the major two party system sucks" you're the problem.
