Because, by not picking a side and sitting out, it perpetuates the stalemate...
And picking a side when both sides stink doesn't ever fix it either...we need more than the two choices we have! I don't subscribe to either side because I can't wholeheartedly say with a clear conscience I agree with either one enough to vote one way or the other. They've both become so polarizing, so full of hatred for the other side, so incredibly black and white that I refuse to choose a side. I have to live with my decisions too, just like every other American. Don't tell me I perpetuate the stalemate Keith. The TWO parties perpetuate a whole lot of stupid, IMHO. Politics perpetuate a whole lot of stupid, and Americans have lost all control of our very own government to the lowest common denominator in society - being politically correct and pandering to all those that are perpetually offended and unwilling to do for themselves.
'Merica!
