I really don't give a shit which one pulls the strings, neither will pull them my way, and there is no other option. So, count my non-vote as passive protest. If we all decided not to vote, just once, they'd have to declare a fucking this or that, and it would be pretty god-damned obvious that nobody gave a shit (not that this would stop them from declaring a this or that by default, but the process would be laid completely fucking bare..wouldn't it).

You can't seriously think that had a democrat been elected instead of W, we would still have invaded Iraq? Would you not have lifted a finger to prevent that had you known what W would do?
The republicans are motivated to spend the country into debt in order to chip away at medicare and social security. If a democrat had been elected instead of W, you can bet there would have been no rush to trade an opportunity for balancing the budget for a chance to give a tax return to the ultra rich.
Yes the system is fucked in many ways but to blithely assume that there is no significant difference is just plain wrong. With kids to worry about I don't see how you can be so indifferent about how much worse things get.
