on a specific day, people go to designated areas and cast ballots for their choice of candidates; in other words, "voters" pretend they have a choice in who will do what; "candidates" pretend they act on their own, and instead follow agendas dictated by the ruling elite; this is not cynicism or defeatism, and it is not the polyannish, sugary sweet view either; it is, instead, the way it is; also, a person has the right to vote, or not to vote, and it is not up to the approval or disapproval of another; this word, vote, should not be on the urban dictionary, because it is too politicized, and too much of a page for rants and raves, especially, stupid, racist, low-consciousness ones
I am going to vote, because I like to pretend that by going throught the motions, I have somehow expressed a choice.

In a system in which you have no real input, this act of casting a ballot is worse than a waste of time - it legitimates the system of power which has excluded you from real decision making in the first place.
Can you believe Johnny is still voting? Doesn't he get it? No matter who you vote for, the government always wins!

A way for the government to get us to believe that we are choosing our country's leaders, when in reality, our votes hardly even matter.

Crack Addict 1: I support ageism and the number 18 controlling the world, so I'm going to be voting in the U.S. Presidential election.
Crack Addict 2: Good going, man!
