If you don't vote for anything, then you show no will for change, which means you basically don't care one way of the other, so the system in place will work for you. You don't get the right to complain if you won't go out and show you want a change.

I'm not complaining over the results. There wasn't really a positive option either way. And like I mentioned, I'm a long way from home for college. Sorry if my opinion on the president and current state of the union offends you but that's the problem how I see it.

You don't have to agree. You don't have to like it. Just accept that our opinions vary and be glad it's still an America where we are allowed to have such disputes.

If you go by the posters message of 'one agenda' (its all rigged!) what is the point of voting? If the system is rigged and all are either puppets or marginalized then one wouldn't really bother voting would they?

One agenda doesn't mean one result. Germany and the United States both had the same goal in WWII, to end the war. They even had similar methods, kill the enemy until they surrender. But they had a difference of intent, the world would have been very different if Germany had ended the war instead of the United States.

Both presidents are men motivated by success and gain, if you would be honest with yourself you would know all people are.

The difference is, Romney has shown that he takes people along with him in his climb by working honestly within the system. It's a fact that he has created hundreds of thousands of jobs during his private sector career, saved some of the United States largest businesses, and helped an uncountable amount of people feed their families and maintain their state of life. People constantly criticize him for his few mistakes, but he has in fact created several times more jobs during his career than any of his mistakes ever cost.

Obama is worth several million dollars more after four years as president than he was before attaining his office, the difference is nobody has benefited from his success but he himself. In fact he has cost more and more people their jobs with each passing month in office. His success hurts people because he pursues it outside the economic system designed to benefit the people at large.

Fortunately, you can write in any candidate you like, whether they're on the ballot or not. So, even if there is NO ONE with whom you agree, you can at least vote for the only person with whom you agree 100% -> yourself In which case you can at least say that your conscience is clear because you actually made a genuine effort to change things.

Just to throw an additional wrench in the mix, I agree 99% (with the poster).
