Really I think we're screwed either way. Just two faces of a bad coin. The politics in this country are very akin to cyanide.[/QUOTE]
When I was in my 20's my views very much mirrored your own, and those views and my feelings of disenfranchisement led me to abstain from being politically active. To day I genuinely regret that I was not more politically outspoken in my youth. To be completely honest, in those days the extent of my political activity consisted of sitting around complaining about both parties with my friends over a water bong and not bothering to vote.
We all have things in our pasts that we regret and (wether it would have made a difference or not), I wish I had voted more.
If there is any one thing I wish I could convey to younger people today here in the US it would be the necessity of voting.
Whoever you feel comes closest to representing your voice, be it dem or rep, VOTE.
I truly believe that in this election more than in any other in my life time, actually getting out there and voting really does matter.
