Torone - ok, funny. :-)
But anyway - there are many reasons why people might not vote and still choose to exercise their right to discuss it. I don't vote. I doubt I ever will vote.
For one, I think the good old US of A will be quite alright no matter who is elected. I don't think the US will fall apart due to which party has the presidency or a majprity in congress. I think the entire system is a great success and will succeed regardless of whether I vote.
And to be honest, my one vote doesn't matter. Not once in my life has it nor will it ever. And if everyone thought that way, I'd vote and choose whomever I wanted to elect. The countless cases of "this candidate only won by 7827 votes" won't change the fact that it will not come down to one vote." And if it does get that close, my driving alone could effect the election as I will undoubtebly make someone else too late to vote. That is probably more likely than a 1-vote presidential election.
