Two things can be simultaneously true. First, this two party system is corrupt to its core and elections are not going to fix it. Secondly, that one of these two parties IS GOING to be making decisions and hiring people and setting administrative policies that WILL affect our lives.
So, while we're working on the first part, it does us no additional harm to try to leverage the second part as a way to break down the barriers of the first part.
Remember, one of these administrations is going to have executive power for the next 4 years - that harm is already baked in. It's going to happen no matter who you vote for or if you don't vote at all. So, I'm taking that as a given and looking down at the second layer and asking myself, which administration gives us a possibility of throwing a monkey wrench into the cogs of the machine. Will it destroy the entire machine?! You'd have to be an idiot to expect that! But can it cause damage and fault lines that people will notice? There's a chance.
Thinking that voting is some magic tool, rather than simply casting your lot, is just silly. If you don't want to cast a lot, or you want to write-in Ron Paul (like I usually do), or whatever else, that's great! But I'm taking a different tack.
