* <<G6I.1156>> DON'T NOT VOTE
When a choice is offered between spaghetti with turdballs and a
barbecue turdburger, it's hard to get past the fact that in either
event you'll be eating turds.
A lot of people want to opt-out. They're choosing not to vote because
they don't like their choices. Please, DON'T NOT VOTE.
When election time comes, and the votes are tallied, here's how it's
going to look:
Your protest is going to be a footnote. _It doesn't matter how low
voter turnout is_, the media focus will *always* be on who won, and
by how much. The loser will blame low voter turnout. The winner will
never mention it.
On the other hand, if people go out to the polls vote, for a
third-party candidate, or even a write-in, *you show* as a slice of
the pie chart.
Vote! Vote for ANYBODY! Not voting is *too ambiguous* - your
/protest/ will only look like apathy, or complacence, or a
willingness to be ruled by whomever is chosen to rule you. Voting for
*anyone* else, even a fictional character, sends a clear message: I
care, I want to vote, but I don't like my choices.
GET ON THE PIE CHART! VOTE! *FOR ANYBODY*!
DON'T NOT VOTE!
