Episode 150, Time to Vote Again?

Well, it's midterm election time again.  Oh, the pagentry, the drama. Democracy in action. Exercise your franchise. Vote or die! (Insert raspberry sound here.)
Should you vote?  I say no, for reasons I expand upon in this podcast.

• Voting in a democracy such as we have today is indistinguishable from mob rule.
• Voting gives sanction to otherwise illegitimate organizations and their actions.
• Your vote makes no material difference.

How about local elections? Maybe a bit more legit, but be careful, there's plenty of bad stuff going on here too.
They say "If you don't vote, you can't complain about the outcome".  That's BS. You have a legitimate complaint only if you DON'T vote.
Democracy is an illegitimate religion, and voting is the sacrament. Don't fall for it. Pete Ferron
