I hate the argument that voting doesn't matter cause it doesn't change anything. Voting is the easiest and simplest way to get your opinion and point of view out to the government and the country. If that isn't enough for you then go out and protest, run for office, write a book or an article, start a blog, write to office officials, fill out surveys or join a group you support. Not doing anything because "it wont make a difference" is the laziest, self pitying, self fulfilling bull shit argument I can think of. Grow up and vote!

Side: Yes to voting

Whilst I agree with voting, it's simply a pathetic idea that true democracy comes from putting a tick on a ballot once every four years. It's inconsequential. You will get a much greater result if you actively take a part in politics, contact those in power, in order to get your point across, rather than sit apathetically until the next election.

I think voting is dumb because we shouldnt need someone to RUN our country/world for us . That's not how the first people on this earth did it . They were fine . I hate government .

Though I have a mutual hatred of government, comparing the small population of humans in its early existence and their form of successful government or lack there of with the now 7 billion people is silly. In the US alone there are 300 million people there has to be an organized set of laws and coordination between regions (or states) for us to live in relative peace.
