Does participating in a process that has long been rendered useless still make you patriotic? I plan on voting tomorrow, but I know that my vote means nothing. I have taken to voting to make myself feel like I'm doing my part in the process, but I know the process and system are broken.
I shudder to think of what cruel joke awaits me in November.

I voted. First and only one at my poll spot.
Knowing the process is useless is one thing. Actually going through the "new" process which involves a scantron bubble-in sheet and then promptly sticking it into what couldn't be anything besides an industrial-sized paper shredder really drives the futility of it all home.
I tried to register as a member of the Freak Power party. They put me down as Independent.
I have very little interest in participating in a process that is so alien to me. None of these cartoon characters represents me.
That McCain picture makes me want to vote for him, though.
