I was talking to someone at work, and her view is probably the same nationally. She doesn't vote because she knows that it doesn't mean anything. The corporations owns congress. Why should she vote when it doesn't matter who she votes for?
She's right. Voting doesn't do anything --- ask Benjamin Franklin.
Corrupt governments do not simply change because people start voting. Voting is a con. It's a joke and you've been duped. Especially when the things we MOST want to vote on are the things they will not allow us to have any say in.
Given a vote between two douche nozzles or deciding which criminal billionaire is going to fuck the american people slightly less than all the others is not going to change jack shit. Your friend is absolutely right. She does not need to start voting. It's just part of the lie that keeps the gullible slaves in line.
