We have had this discussion in the past usually around election time so I apologize for the repetition and will take the position of the non-voter.
I look at our system as one controlled by the ruling class; our polititians and their associates, families and friends. The only question to be answered in these elections is which party gets to direct the corruption this time around. Votes for third parties are looked at as wasted, votes for Nader are votes taken away from the Democrats, votes for the Libertarian are votes taken away from the Republicans and neither one has a chance anyway.
The heated discussions over which party is worse is just a distraction from the reality that both are. I wish just once we would show our collective disgust with the system and when they have an election no one shows up. The elections are rigged to put a Democrat/Republican in office. We should not feel obligated to endorse the corrupt polititians with our vote. Voting gives the impression that we actually think there is a choice and the system is working.
