I've heard the "my vote won't count" before

As a person living in the one of the most lucrative and most ignorant countries on the face of this planet, I feel like smacking a few million folks with a history book, math book, dictionary, etc. Those people who don't end up voting are the very ones complaining about the government slighting them of this or that. How can you sit up here and complain about something when you had an opportunity to keep it from occuring in the first place

I guess you can't necessarily fault them for their ignorance, but after a certain point it's just sheer stupidity that spews from the mouths of these fools (yes fools). Unless you've been a convicted felon, are in jail, or have some other legit reason which prevents you from voting, there is no excuse for one taking it upon themselves to simply "not vote".
