not-so-political alix.
So I'm sure I'm going to get very long comments from a couple of people about this, but w/e, feel free to try to change my mind.
I don't think I'm voting in this election.
Don't get me wrong, I'm going to vote against the abolition of gay marriage, for green energy, and against removal of essential educational programs. But I'm doing that without voting for president.
For one, I can't honestly decide between Biden and Palin. And let's be honest here, we're not electing the people who are running for president. McCain will probably die in office or natural causes, and O'Bama will be assassinated. If I were going to vote for a presidential candidate this year it'd be Cynthia McKinney, but since I've been told OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN that any vote for anyone but Barack is a vote for McCain, I think I'll just step off this year. What's the point?
***edit***
one less thing to vote against, the california state lottery reform didn't go through for this election, but it WILL be on the ballot for 2012, when I will re-assess whether it needs to be destroyed (probably based on light rail going through or not)
