I am so tired of all of these people with their Vote statuses on gmail, and their “make sure you go and vote” messages on facebook etc. Why do these people feel the need to tell me to vote? Why should I listen to this cyberfriend who has never mentioned politics until the day before an election? I mean, maybe if the person one day in the middle of the year had a status up telling me to check out some judges ruling on a certain case and to remember not to vote for them in november I would listen to that person. But I have yet to come across any away message telling me about the direction of our city’s spending and policies outside a week of a voting period. If I’m going to vote, I’ll do with my own motivations, I don’t need to be ordered so by your newfound online political activist personality. And anyways, I’m an absentee ballot and did this all last week……
