I will be 18 by the next election. I will be living in Georgia, and yet I'm pretty sure I won't be voting for a Republican (I'm a young foolish atheistic liberal. maybe I'll get old and rich and become a Republican and get even older and find God, but not now.)
I'm hopefully not going to school in Georgia if I can get money at the out of state schools I'm looking at. So it's not like I care about local elections. And if I do, it won't be in Atlanta, and I doubt I'd be voting Republican for governor.
Republicans will win the presidency and whatever the noun is for the office of governor in this state.
So, really, why on earth should I vote?
To give whatever filthy liberal another tally in the popular vote? To bolster support for commies in Georgia and prove they're not entirely extinct? I love how they make you feel like "making a statement" is some sort of substitute for actually having a say. I love how they lecture you- appreciate that you even have the right to vote (for what?); if people don't exercise this "duty," democracy begins to fail. It's such a copout because if my vote doesn't count worth shit unless I'm in Florida or Ohio or whatever it is these days, hasn't it already failed?
I guess I just don't want to feel like a fool for pretending to play along, pretending I'm making a statement that anyone's actually listening to.
Really, why should I vote? There must be something I'm not thinking of. (sincerely)
