realsomeone, the American people have a poor choice in who to elect, and quite a few don't vote at all for lack of a candidate that they believe in. Some people vote for the lesser of two evils. I don't vote, we know it is not the American people who elect a president, it is the electoral college (remember Bush/Gore) who are all related to the congress and senate. So really if all Americans stopped voting it would be the government itself that elects the president based off of what that president can do for their special interests. I refuse to be blamed for this. We can not control what goes on in the mind of the presidential candidates and we have no idea of knowing what they are discussing behind closed doors. As is any government, there are things that they choose not to let their people know because they know the country as a whole would never stand for it.
