I'd sell my vote in a capitalist liberal democracy for 20 grand. It isnt worth much to me to be honest.
To paraphrase Bill Hicks...
"I agree with the puppet on the left"
"no, I agree with the puppet on the right"
"but wait... the same guy same guy is controlling both puppets!"

Which capitalist you put in power (and youre vote only matters if you live in a marginal anway...) is relevant in terms of the competence by which they run the state... but it is not POLITICALLY relevant. The vote is not a political exercise, it is simply a case of personality and style. Political action will occur through more direct means. In the fullness of the time, the present parties will be abolished. Whether we prefer Russian Mafiya or Japanese Yakuza to be in control of the neighbourhood is not a choice that is meaningless, but our true desire is to abolish them both.
Voting really is a very poor thing.
