More of a meme than a political cartoon but I'm crazy like that.

[Adam White]

Or it's a statement of principle. I don't understand this black-and-white thinking.

Or it's a cop out...

Hitler or Stalin. You must pick one! If you don't, you are "surrendering" and have no right to complain.

Rofl... So... it IS a cop out...

Being forced to choose between two different, yet similar people to manage the capitalist system is not a choice. It's no different than being forced to "choose" between two candidates in the USSR. It's not a choice. Yeah, you can point out how they differ when it comes to hot-button wedge issues, but at the end of the day, it makes close to no difference who wins.

Must be difficult getting an absentee ballot and voting in England... I certainly remember filling out that form and getting my ballots in Japan, Spain, Diego Garcia, Saudi Arabia, to name a few...  It takes effort and "want to"...

Why would I request a ballot if I have no desire to vote for any of the candidates on offer? Seems like a monumental waste of time. And think of the unnecessary air miles for that pointless ballot.

Here's a piece that perfectly explains why some (in this case, anarchists) would see voting as being antithetical to their beliefs:

But it is the anarchists who, for well over a century, have been the most consistent advocates of conscientiously staying away from the poll. Since anarchism implies an aspiration for a decentralised non-governmental society, it makes no sense from an anarchist point of view to elect representatives to form a central government. If you want no government, what is the point of listening to the promises of a better government? As Thoreau put it: 'Cast your whole vote, not a strip of paper merely, but your whole influence. A minority is powerless while it conforms to the majority; it is not even a minority then; but it is irresistible when it clogs by its whole weight.'
