MARK E SMITH ADDRESSES VOTERS

I know you're convinced that voting is useful, because after President Al Gore won the popular vote, he went on to have two successful terms in office....oh wait....he won the popular vote, but the popular vote doesn't count, so he never got to take office.
...
And that's all you really care about, legitimizing rule by the 1%.
It doesn't matter which party or candidate people vote for--that will be corrected, if necessary, by the central tabulators, the Electoral College, Congress, the Supreme Court, or the winning candidate conceding to the loser. All you care about is that people vote, so that the 1% can claim to have the consent of the governed--you don't care that the votes are meaningless and don't determine the outcome of elections.
Like all voters, you don't care if whoever is elected is going to kill innocent babies with drone bombs in your name--you just want to show your obedience to the capitalist imperialist state by helping it get out the vote to show the consent of the governed, the voters, to having whoever wins kill as many innocent babies as they wish.
You know that the votes don't count, that voting merely demonstrates belief in the genocidal, racist, patriarchal, capitalist imperialist system, faith that it is a good enough system for you to work within even if it won't let public opinion or votes influence policy and even if it beats your head in for protesting, and your personal agreement with the 1% that it is important for people to cast uncounted votes--important enough for them to spend billions of dollars funding election campaigns and important enough for you to help them.
You know third party candidates can't win/ And you know that whoever is elected will continue to kill innocent babies with drone bombs. But like all US voters, you don't care. As long as you can cast your uncounted, unverifiable "vote," you don't care how many innocent babies are killed. There is nobody in the world as apathetic as a US voter.

I say boycott capitalist imperialism. Every voter knows that no matter who wins the sham “election,” the drone bombing of innocent children will continue. Therefore they also know that no matter who they vote for, they
are consenting to genocide and will have the blood of innocent children on their hands.
...
Do feminists vote in elections where the only possible outcome is the continued bombing of innocent women and children? Do peace activists? Can people who vote in such elections call themselves liberals? Is it worth it to you to vote for the murder of innocent women and children in the hopes that you might derive some temporary personal benefits or minor reforms?
How can anyone close their eyes to the murder of innocent women and children by drone bombs, and still call themselves a liberal, a progressive, or a human being?
If you care about truth, read the essays in “Consent to Tyranny: Voting in the USA.” http://fubarandgrill.org/node/
You’re not a player because you vote, you’re being played.
Boycott 2012!
