First, and foremost, most of the people who vote do not really care. Sure they probably would say that they do care, but the truth is when it come to "putting their money where their mouth is" they come up short. If they really did care wouldn't they get more involved in learning about the different candidates? Wouldn't they seek to educate themselves about their gov? Truth is most people rely on the information that is given to them by the mainstream media which is bought and paid for by commercial interests (to say the least) and those commercial interests are going to make sure "their guy" wins. Then you have people who are as loyal to thier party as many people are with thier sports teams. This simply does not make since people's lives are at stake and both parties are practically vote the same. Not to mention the majority of people only pay attention to the big elections. This is not good since congress is supposed to be equal in power to the president.
Next, it has been shown and testified that the computer systems that count our votes (not the touch screen computers) can be rigged. Next time you vote watch what they do with your ballot. They feed it through a machine and then put it in a safe keeping box. The machine reads your vote and then tabulates it with the rest. I have seen a youtube video of a county official allowing a hacker to compromise an officail voting machine. He said it was not hard at all. There is another video of a man testifying that he developed a program for a congressman for testing purposes but then was asked to use the program for the congressman LIVE.
Last, you must consider that the United States is in debt and that the borrower is servant to the lender. Pull out a dollar bill and read the name above "United States of America". It says Federal Reserve. This is the central bank of the United States. It is privately owned and operated. Not even the President has the ability to find out who essentially owns the 13 banks that operate the Federal Reserve. Not to mention that the same people who created the Federal Reserve also created the secretive private organization "the Council on Foriegn Relations" aka 'the CFR' among the members are many politicians and mainstream media corporations. That is enough to say for my purposes here.
If you are going to vote, vote your conscience and that way when 'so and so' screws things up you can say "I didn't vote for him!"

Glad I'll didn't inspire you in the negative. Good Job!
The only thing that I would add is that pragmatically the true responsibility of the concerned is to hold whoever is in office accountable and pressure them to make the right decisions for the people. I am just starting to realize this myself, but if you have a specific issue that concerns you and others and you focus on your elected representatives regardless of their party affiliation, you are more likely to see change than merely wishful voting.
