enough already

[kitanzi]

Yep, I voted - I got an absentee ballot and sent it in weeks ago.
Good fucking thing, too, because frankly the number of people on my friends list who are haranguing everyone to get out and vote is giving me a strong contrary urge not to.
Say you voted - say you think voting is a good thing, it is. It's vital, and that's exactly why I got an absentee ballot and made sure to get mine in, but enough already on the strident shove-it-down-your-throat approach. I really doubt I'm the only contrary person around right now resisting the urge to do just the opposite of what I think is reasonable and sane simply because I'm feeling nagged half to death.

At the polls is the wrong time to send that message. You want to get involved in the mechasism of the party of your choice and work with that organization to help cultivate the good canditates and advance them.

Participatory democracy is hard work, and requires a lot of time and effort on the parts of the participants. Voting is quite literally the *least* you can for the system.

Right, in my copious spare time, I'll beat my head against *that* brick wall. I don't see why the polls is the "wrong time."

Good grief.

Let's just agree to disagree, at this point.
