Defeating Bush with Strategic Voting

The voting system has become a pile of shit where most people's votes don't count. Through clever redistricting the two major parties have effectively eliminated the power of an individual vote.

However, the two parties are inept to the power of the internet. I encourage you, if you wish to make any vote besides Bush, to check out this website. What they will do is pair you with someone in a swing state or safe state so that Kerry your choice will go where it matters.

In vote-pairing, swing-state progressives whose first instinct might have been to vote for Nader, Cobb or Badnarik are paired with Democrats (and others whose first choice for President is Kerry) in 'safe' states where either Bush or Kerry has a decisive lead. Paired voters can communicate with each other and decide to vote strategically: swing-state participants for Kerry and safe-state participants for Nader, Cobb or Badnarik. As a result, the paired voters' support for progressive third parties is recorded in the popular vote and their preference for Kerry over Bush finds voice in the Electoral College.


Bravo.
