Voting for impersonal parties and their programmes is a false substitute for the only true way to elect people's representatives: voting by an actual person for an actual candidate.
But the indisputable fact is, a huge percentage of Obama's voters are basically wards of the state. There are millions of them, and they have no intention of voting for anyone who might want them to ever go out and work for a living - 'no matter what.
To vote is like the payment of a debt, a duty never to be neglected, if its performance is possible.
The Democratic Party is very afraid of having competition that is actually unmuzzled and that can tell the truth, which is why they keep this fear voting system in place.
Vote wisely, even if that means not voting at all.

The only problem with voting is no matter who you vote for the government always gets in.

More frightening to me than any policy or politician is the ease with which the public is played for fools with words.

It is an open invitation to intimidation - which is to say, loss of freedom of choice.

It is the invariable habit of bureaucracies, at all times and everywhere, to assume. . . that every citizen is a criminal. Their one apparent purpose, pursued with a relentless and furious diligence, is to convert the assumption into a fact. They hunt endlessly for proofs, and, when proofs are lacking, for mere suspicions. The moment they become aware of a definite citizen, John Doe, seeking what is his right under the law, they begin searching feverishly for an excuse for withholding it from him.

Voting for the lesser of two evils is voting for your own enslavement.
