Voting for those we have no choice but to vote for or not vote. Don't give me 3rd party BS. The rule of plurality helps ensure a 2 party system. At least it has turned out that way and is popularly believed to have been created that way with that intent ! Thus, from the moment you were disenfranchised from your vote, you are out of the picture and your "participation" is window dressing and all activity from that point on is without our say! And look what we've got, exactly that ! 2 Reply John, Everywhere 5/12/11 re: Thomas Jefferson quote The power of individuals was purposefully controlled in the Constitution in the form of the Electoral College. This prevents the rule of plurality from actually electing a president. To further disenfranchise individuals right s, caucuses and primaries were created! This allows the elite to decide who we can vote for by limiting our choices to those they approve of ! The poor and farmers didn't have timeor capacity to participate in these events and still don't !Thus effectively removing us from "true" participation ! 3Reply John, everywhere 5/12/11 re: Thomas Jefferson quote This is all philosophical right ? Because unfortunately not a single comment here is apparent in our world as it applies to this quote ! SaveOk2 Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
