Three Reasons You Should Not Care about Election Day
October 30, 2014
Actually, the lame article is titled “3 Reasons You Should Care about Election Day.” It is an article by a Christian about how “American Christians should be politically principled, informed, opinionated, and involved.” By involved the author means involved by voting. I agree with the author’s first three things, but since I am politically principled, informed, and opinionated I will not be voting. Three reasons I don’t care about election day are: 1. Voting for the lesser of two evils is still evil. 2. “Every election is a sort of advance auction sale of stolen goods” ~ H.L. Mencken. 3. The only way to vote against crook A and crook B is to not vote.
