Voting on an issue, one at a time is a little better than voting for someone who has "lobbyists with benefits." Not all sides can afford to pay people to speak with the representatives.

Really, does the voter count or does the lobbyist count when it comes to policy for us all? I believe the latter.

I'm pretty certain that whatever country you are from, they are celebrating that you don't vote.

well I am sure that everybody that doesn't vote, makes the career polticians are glad. If they would all vote, they could have an impact on elections.

1. Inconvenient methods of voting = better solutions needed like internet or better ways. The polling stations hours are inconvenient for you.
2. Worthless Candidates = Most of these candidates come from wealthy families and don't even know the hardships of life. Why not get some people that have extensive knowledge in other areas such as scientists etc. Most candidates are braindead. The candidates don't meet your needs in some issues.
3. Belief that your vote is only one vote and doesn't really help. Most elections are won by thousands of votes.
4. You believe in voter fraud and therefore the election is rigged.
5. Other reason = Please state the reason

You maybe putting cart ahead of the horse. Question is, how do you represent ALL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, when truth be told, predominately the American voters are all over the map in regards to issues they want the candidates to represent them on. It all goes back to un-realistic expectations from the voters; and you can't leave out the ever dividing WEDGE ISSUES.

Finally, when are the average voters going to stop allowing corporate America and lobbyist to out spend us when it comes to funding and recruiting the Candidates! Remember, all "We the People" have are our numbers; but once those numbers divided and conquered over wedge issues and pessimisms that your vote doesn't count, WE THE PEOPLE, will get our ASS's handed too us every election season by the Wealthy.

Remember the corporations, wealthy and the lobbyist have banded together in pursuit of maintaining and increasing their power and wealth and status quo. Any body see any WEDGE ISSUES separating these elitist from their GOALS and AGENDA's......simply put HELL NO.

The truth of the matter, btwn the estimated 100,000 voters who vastly make up the income bracketts of btwn 15K - 85K just don't bother voting. Then you add-in to the fact that theirs another 50 million conservatives that would rather face death than join liberals in solildarity to take on the wealthy corporate status quo, and we find ourselves where we are today in our politics in this country.
