Your presidential elections are like the last step in the process. If you want to make real change, you need to start from the bottom up. You can't just say (not saying you do this) "oh shit there's a presidential election this year? And I dislike the Democrats candidate? Time to vote for a third party candidate to show them!"

It's kind of like baking a cake I guess. If you just jump in at the end and taste the cake, well you're stuck with what it is. "Oh I wish this was a chocolate cake instead of vanilla. I'm not going to eat this cake. I'm going to eat this other cake ", well you should have gotten involved earlier and who knows what's in that other cake, it could have those disgusting flavored jelly beans in it.

I do agree that not voting leads to problems.

I agree, which is why I've been voting in local and primary elections since 2000. And it doesn't work because the system of government we have is shitty, old, and broken.
