Is voting in a fundamentally flawed political system worthwhile today?

"What a bunch of garbage: liberal, democrat, conservative, republican. It's all there to control you; two sides of the same coin; two management teams bidding for control of the CEO job of Slavery Inc." - - Alex Jones (crazy bastard) in Waking Life [1]
To be jaded or apathetic (towards voting) isn't an unbelievable stance. Actually, it's of something I empathize with. Our political system, specifically the way we rear new candidates, is simply not advantageous to change or the consciousness of the average American. To mistake the two-party system as a choice is true foolishness. These people both have their hands in the pockets of the same corporations and the same interest parties. Truly, "two sides of the same coin." The potential for larger political or social change just isn't there. If I vote, it won't be for what I believe in, it'll be what I disbelieve in most. |
