I got something better, mass inaction, vote none of the above. or stay home. completely ignore the voting season as if it weren't happening, what will they do then? if not a single person votes? that would be interesting, thats how we can effect change. you know, i don’t even need to read the article, the headline as all i needed. this shit is getting ridiculous. the government should add itself to its threat database, because so far the biggest threat to this country, is the illusion of safety, warrantless searches and seizures, rights being stripped away, and no one doing anything about it. all this rhetoric is meaningless without action wait, i might stir an investigation, into myself, i might get myself on some list with words like these.
