Wow... That site shows everything that is wrong with electoral politics. You, for instance, have to select from choices that range from 66% to 78%, and each issue, it looks like, has a different best choice. So you're stuck with the least-worst... Johnson. |

Voting for a third party says "I support this broken and corrupt system and this is who I want to be in charge".
Not voting says "I don't support this broken and corrupt system".
I enjoyed what "ShireSilver" said in response to rhis statement and I have to agree. I have seen this happen many times in my voting district as well. The point is that not voting fixes nothing and they will still hold elections whether the voter turn out is 70 percent or if it is 1 percent. Now dont get me wrong in way am a I going to garuntee you there will not be currouption nor can any politician truly say they are currouption free and not be lying. Becuase I believe that humans are munipulateable and money and capitalism breed currouption and make it hard for people to trust one and other but thats a philosphy for a differnent time. So my answer to why polish the door knobs on the titanic: There is always time to turn around or change course. |

http://www.isidewith.com/results/8812766995% - Jill Stein 75% - Obama 34% - Romney LOL US politics call me a green as well, but I want the greens to win here and the libertarians to win in the US, it would be hilarious...

Going through the obama list of issues, a lot of them are listed as agreed but the "similar" answer rule seems to be in obama's favour a little bit... And if you can't trust some random website... who can you trust? |

Be thankful you dont live in Australia where they fine you for not voting. btw I have a large stack of fines sitting in a drawer collecting dust How can they even enforce something like this? Is it next time you vote they wont let you until you pay your fines? Do the restrict your attempts to get a driver's license or something of the sort? If they do nothing why even bother with the fines, its just posturing. The government wastes 100's of australian dollars trying to collect 10's of dollars in fines... |

If the USA did this, they would just pile on more fines for not paying your fines, wait until after it has reached obscene proportions, and then garnish your wages (if any) or arrest you. |

I've been fined twice, The first time for not voting, the next time for not replying to the fine, The next letter I got informed me that I had been unenrolled because of false information (I didn't update it to my new address) - Haven't heard from them since But yes, they stop you from getting a license. |
