Why I didn't Vote

I didn't vote because I know my vote doesn't count.

I didn't vote because I didn't want to drive somewhere I don't normally go, to stand in line amongst a bunch of people I dont normally see, to pick a president of a country that doesn't "love" me as much as "they" want me to love "it".

I didn't vote because I know one man can't do anything to fix something that was created to be broken.

I didn't vote because democracy doesn't exist.


At first I was excited to see a minority actually sway America's population. It was a hopeful event for me being a black man in a white man's world. To see a black man winning is supposed to boost morale for the rest of us black males, which isn't the case in most instances. Due to a slavery retardation, we black males chose to have disdain for our fellow black males for reasons so deeply embedded into our psyche we may never be able to get to the root of the source; and even if we did, the cure may not be in this world we live in.

Obama will win. What he will do, I do not know. I do know that money runs everything around me. All the big money guys standing behind Barack. How can you lose if Warren Buffet's investing in you??


It's bigger than the common man. The political show entertains the American citizen long enough for the special select few government officials (allied with the elite from around the world) manipulate the "American Way" of life in this new seemingly 'small world' with big problems.

Im on some other shit, in a different commode.
I represent myself, that's why I didn't vote.
