“If voting changed anything, they’d make it illegal” is a famous quote by Emma Goldman, a Russian-born US political activist, anarchist and writer (1869-1940).

Voting, keeps you participating in a system that will continue on with or without your vote or mine- Elections feed the illusion of representative democracy, but, largely the masses are not represented.

I vote, but, it’s long been anyone BUT Libs or Cons- There hasn’t been any difference between the two for as long as I’ve really paid attention (other than slight superficial differences)

Sad, but, that’s how I see it.

Hey Brian, it’s all good because polls shift, but I did think Trump was leading in the polls prior to his selection? It wasn’t much, but, it was a lead.

I predict that I will not be wasting my time to cast a vote. I read somewhere that if voting made a difference, they wouldn’t let you do it. I can’t be a politician because I can’t stand in front of you and lie. I think politicians pretend to serve you while they are actually serving themselves first.

Excuse me that was Harris 49%, Trump 48%.

My bad!

Hey Brian
I don’t recall that? Rather I recall Trump leading in the polls.
However, that might depend on what polling was done?

and yes we will know if the poll are right next week.

But we will know next week if the polls are right.
