While your cynicism is understandable, people need to be educated in order to make informed decisions, otherwise voting becomes pointless; that is a basic tenet

  Question is who is providing the information that makes us informed?

  I believe we have similar conclusions but differ on the facts, I don't vote because it's pointless because education has revealed that... What politicians and the media say are mostly lies (intentional or not). It's difficult to tell what is a lie from what is the truth. I don't live in an area that can affect the outcome of the election. Considering the entire spectrum of choices available the two or three options you have are almost identical: Democrats are the left wing of the plutocratic party and Republicans are the right wing. Tide or Sunlight isn't a choice either way you're buying soap from P&G. Any time, including writing this point, spend worrying about politics is time I could have spent improving my life or the lives of others.
