here it is: i’m not really a voter, i’ve just been passing as one.
i mean, i regard myself as a reasonable person (i guess maybe that doesn’t mean very much since a large number of people probably regard themselves as reasonable, huh?), but i know in the eyes of many i have just lost all credibility. i want to clarify at the beginning that i have no agenda here except to explain why i do not vote in the hopes of helping others understand some of the reasons someone who cares very much about political and social issues might make this choice. i am not looking to convert anyone to any political party or set of beliefs, and many people i respect very much vote (such as my partner and the esteemed owner of this very blog).
