Now, you see, your stance is predicated on the believe that our voting has:

A.) Value, in that what you do makes a difference

B.) Choice, in that your two real options are any different

C.) Ability for change, in that the system itself works, but it just needs someone to effect that change from what's happening now.

I do not believe our system provides any of these things. I believe for any of these to happen, a revolution would be necessary to overthrow everything we currently have, and furthermore, I do not believe the people of our country have the will or ability to do that.
