No, it does count and I am sorry you feel that way because it is flat out wrong. When you look at the progress between the founding of this country to today there has been lots of progress because of citizen involvement. I find your dime view very short sighted.Quote:"Oh bullshit..... Hillary isn't perfect nobody is, but don't you dare equate her to that fucking demagogue asshole. And not even the two parties are the same, it is just that Dems have been held hostage by the GOP for 36 years and our voter apathy, especially in midterms has allowed that.
Dems are the progressives, we value the right things like worker's wages, women's rights, LGBT equality and an end to corporate welfare, and currently the GOP are against all those things. If you honestly think Hillary is horrible, even after Bernie said she'd still be 1,000 times better than Trump on her worst day, you have your head up your ass."
@Brian37 - Ha! Jesus Christ is someone angry? Calm down hanini, or you'll burst a blood vessel.
I do actually think fuck Trump, I don't want to see him get into office. That doesn't mean I like Hillary and think she's going to do something revolutionary that no president has ever done before. They are both pretty useless, making the same empty promises that we keep falling for as usual, and you'll still be overworked and underpaid in another 8 years whoever your vote for. Sorry to burst your naive illusion that your little "vote" means anything.
I have the same reaction to other atheists when they say "what's the use" knowing how small our voice was back in 01 to how big it has become now. Our 36 year decline didn't happen overnight and it wont be fixed overnight, but to say nothing will change is absurd. Bernie didn't start the Occupy movement, that was a reaction to the stock market crash that lead to the recession, and that was long before anyone knew who Bernie was on a national scale. But you look at how much more workers are getting involved now, it is far bigger now. You cannot sit there and complain about monopolies then do nothing. Say nothing get nothing.
