I Don’t Vote
Millions of humans around the world do not vote, some out of apathy and some for serious moral and/or philosophic reasons.
- Are you pondering the value of voting?
- Do you wonder why you need to select another person to rule over you?
- Are you too busy doing things that actually matter & that are productive?
- Do you have the wisdom to know that your vote does not count or matter?
- Are you intelligent?
- Are the lines too long or is it otherwise too much hassle?
Here at I Don’t Vote, we genuinely respect your honorable choice, regardless of your reason. We thank you for your willingness to go against the mainstream flow and to instead stand up against the time-wasting, silly and immoral practice of voting in government elections.
Learn more about the issue and arm yourself with valuable resources as you communicate to your intelligent friends and help them also follow this peaceful path of non-voting.
