Because you're giving a pass to evil? Voting for a candidate tells them "people voted for me, so I can do what I want."

I think you missed the point of the quote. Plus, haven't I already said that sales pamphlets are useless?

I'd rather work at the local level where my actions arent meaningless, but I dont even do that cause politics are ****. I prefer voting with my dollar and volunteering for things I value (mostly environmental education/clean up) rather than trying to influence the machine.

Sure, but I'm not going to do both until there is an actual candidate worth voting for. In the meantime I'll live and die doing the best I can to enjoy my life and have a net positive effect on society while the droves of idiots continue to applaud and accept disgusting individuals as suitable candidates.

Just because you vote doesn't mean you have to applaud anyone.

DWV argues with elph for saying that people that want to be leaders are inherently evil.

Yet he refuses to vote because he assumes everybody that wants to be our leader is inherently evil.
