Vote or Don’t

I feel like people look down on me because I don’t bother to vote, but I have my reasons. Mainly it’s because I am lazy and don’t feel like doing to research and learning about the issues, but I have my reasons for not wasting my time doing that as well. It is because my vote is worth the same as people who vote based on race and other stuff that doesn’t matter. Take the people in this clip from the Howard Stern show below as an example, the set up is this: 

The highly educated voters in Harlem are so well informed, a reporter for Howard Stern was able to trick the people he interviewed into agreeing with everything John McCain stands for, including getting them to say they had no problem with Sarah Palin being Vice President. The reporter simply asked who they supported, they said Obama, so he asked a series of questions about things McCain represents, but said those were things Obama represented, and every black person asked said yup, I’m for it. This supports the case that many blacks are only voting for Obama because he is black.
