I'm not expecting different results, I'm hoping. I have no illusions that voting won't do much, if anything. but I repeat and I repeat again: It costs you nothing.
If I could play a free game of roulette for a chance at a million dollars every year, I would play it every time even though I probably would never win. so long as the chances there.
it's the same with voting. There is that glimmer of hope that's all is not lost. so long as you vote that glimmer stays alive. It costs nothing therefore there is nothing to lose and everything to gain.
comparing gambling to voting is not the same thing...
also in roulette you have a 1 in 36 chance of hitting the 00 and everyone loses...
a) gamblers are addicted to loss; voters always lose. Both represent shirking of response-ability (free will of choice) onto the suggested choices of others.
b) sameness (process of dying) generates differences (living)...others tempt one to ignore perceivable differences for suggested sameness, like equality (same) through diversity (difference)...
It. Costs. Nothing.
The only reason I can think of for someone to encourage others to not vote is if they want to keep them out of the voting pool. Very fed if you ask me.
do what you want.. just dont expect any miracles...
trump was elected in 2016... the one notable thing i could give him points for is getting rid of TPP...
other than that... ¯_(ツ)_/¯
That's pretty much where I'm at. If voting ever does cost something, either monetarily or security wise, I'll probably stop voting until I can be more confident that the voting system is not rigged.
Right now all it costs is my time, and very little time at that, so I figure "might as well".
a) doesn't every life represent a different result of the same origin?
b) hoping implies wanted outcomes; living implies need to adapt to origin. Try holding your breath while hoping...
