Or maybe they feel that even voting against a candidate in majority is not enough to prevent him from being president.
Heck, Simey, I feel disenfranchised in this country, and I'm not out protesting. But I do NOT harbor the tinkerbell hope that writing to my congressman at this point is going to change the war juggernaut.....do you honestly think so? If so, you're more naive than I thought.
You're suggesting letters to congressman precisely BECAUSE you know it would be completely ineffectual, which is precisely where you want protestors to be relegated to.
