Distillation

Why I vote:

I vote to justify my past choices, whether they were on purpose or accidental. I vote to secure my future choices, whether they will be on purpose or accidental.

I vote so that I will have to find information on what to vote on. I vote so that I will automatically have topics of conversation for the next cocktail party. I vote so that people will have one more reason to talk to me.

I vote hoping that the world that I want will happen. I vote against those whose world I do not want.

I vote so that I can keep what I have and get what I want.

I vote to gauge how much my beliefs are in agreement with others. I vote to see my choice among thousands who are the same.

I vote so that I can choose a side, because not choosing a side means that I am weak.

I vote so that I will not be alone.

I don’t want to be alone, so I vote.
