\u2014Pulitzer and Tony winning playwright Doug Wright<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

… so it’s no secret who I’m voting for. But regardless of your political leanings,\u00a0#VOTE. I don’t care who it’s for (though I would be apt to love you __that__<\/em> much more if you cast yours for Barack Obama) so long as it’s an educated vote<\/em>. (The quote I reposted above by\u00a0Pulitzer and Tony winning playwright Doug Wright is but an extension of my personal opinion, however). Apathy is our greatest downfall; hopelessness is the bane of our existence. I’m not one to blast who follows or contacts me, but if a namedrop can do some good, let me go\u00a0Machiavellian\u00a0for the day.<\/p>\n

Let us\u00a0not<\/em> take our rights for granted, and instead exercise them. We’re people of the United States and citizens of the world.<\/p>\n

Your voice counts.<\/strong> You’re that one in a million.<\/p>\n

\n

\u200e”If you are bored and disgusted by politics and don’t bother to vote, you are in effect voting for the entrenched Establishments of the two major parties, who please rest assured are not dumb, and who are keenly aware that it is in their interests to keep you disgusted and bored and cynical and to give you every possible reason to stay at home doing one-hitters and matching MTV on primary day. By all means stay home if you want, but don’t bullshit yourself that you’re not voting. In reality, there is no such thing as not voting: you either vote by voting, or you vote by staying home and tacitly doubling the value of some Diehard’s vote.”<\/p>\n
