Most people and that means the majority know it doesn't matter. The system is corporate dominated by career politicians and participating in it won't reform it.

Bah, excuses excuses. There are what, 80 million eligible voters in the U.S. right now, and only about 20 million of them actually vote. If even half of those that didn't vote in the last election actually got off their fat asses and out to a polling station they damn well WOULD make a difference. You know that in some states Bush won by less than 50,000 votes??
This is the age-old question regarding the vote... people saying "well, what good is my one lone vote? What difference can it make?" The truth is, your vote is one of the most precious rights you possess. I am adamant about the point that if you don't vote, you have ZERO right to bitch about the government. Cast your vote and then at least you've done your part to create the change you desire. Don't worry about whether or not others have "given up" or if they think things are "hopless"... exercise your right to vote, period.
