Pretty much as said above.
Voting without knowing is a form of theft.
I'd just as well the happily ignorant stay happily at home.
Just because you can vote doesn't mean you should vote.
I'd rather someone with a felony conviction for election fraud be allowed to vote than someone who votes on the candidates personality.
I know someone who voted for George 2 because 'he's such a pretty man and I love his accent'. I am sickened, but you sometimes don't get to pick the friends you love, they just happen.
I follow politics so little I STILL don't know if George 2 was Democrat or Republicans. (oddly, my phone capitalized Democrat but not republican).
I too, can't begin to care less about your political stance or lack thereof.
Personally, I have no political stance. Never have.
No matter who or what, as long as the playing field is level, I'll be happier by not having a 'side'. .
