Which is worse (election related)

Everyone has their own reasons for voting or not voting. We will always have varied reasons but it will be valid to the person who makes it. I think it would be safe to just let people do their thing instead of trying to meddle with their choices or decisions. More problems are caused by meddling with other people's affairs than just stating your belief and hoping they're listen or somehow 'think'. I for one would not like to push my point-of-view most especially if it's about religion and government. It's just that it's a no-end debate and whoever wins will never win a friend in the end. Further, these elections doesn't really mean that whoever is chosen wins, it's the start of their responsibility - and the end of their a$$ kissing. Let's just hope that the candidate we choose would be willing to consider the countrymen's needs more than his own greed.

I actually think the former is a worse choice; not stupid necessarily because there are a lot of factors at play during elections and people have the right to pick whoever candidate they want, but between someone jaded enough not to vote and someone who just decides to go with the bandwagon, I think the one who didn't vote made the worse choice. Because doing NOTHING resolves NOTHING and if someone complains about the state of our government yet doesn't even exercise their RIGHT to pick the leaders of our government, that's like complaining how hot it is to sit outside under the noonday sun without doing anything to shade yourself. For me, jumping the bandwagon of whoever's the most popular is still making a choice. It can get annoying because popularity =/= competency, but at least they exercised the right that was given to them, and if the popular choice was a stupid move, then they'll have the chance to grow next time. There isn't a fence in something like voting because you'll be under the rule of the leader whether you voted or not. So why not vote and let your voice be heard, as opposed to complaining what sad state the country is while contributing to the ranks of apathy that helps no one?

hello knicnax, if you encounter person type number one don't hesitate to promote gordon. as for number two, i think debate is a waste of time since they have made they're choice. If gordon wasn't running, i'd rather abstain because i don't see other candidates that are better. i was rooting for noynoy before but after the debates, gordon was my choice.

You know what? I was thinking that I would do the first one, still for the same reason. Honestly, I don't find any ray of hope over the candidates this elections. Since corruption has been embedded in our society for decades, I think and feel that it's already difficult to eradicate and pull it out. In short, I feel that our country has no hope anymore in terms of politics. But this is just my personal perception. I still believe in miracles, though.
