Voting, Should we or should we not?



               Mr. Bagby puts forth a very interesting point on his blog. Voters don’t care, why should you? He put forth “Maybe they feel as if their… vote doesn’t count.”  A vote does count, but it doesn’t always count in certain situations. If a certain amount of people are persuaded to vote towards a policy or elected official, even if that policy or elected official could hurt them. A vote towards the right vote wouldn’t count than. As Bagby said most people don’t always understand their where political leaders stand on issues.
                 
               Bagby does quite well by also pointing out survey polls show that the average American doesn’t involve themselves in politics and usually just conforms to the way life is presented to them. As mentioned by Bagby we face complex issues in society. Aren’t the politicians suppose represent us and do their job to the best of their ability. Sometimes to me it seems like the only reason some ideologies or political figures are mentioned, is because the businesses want these polices or people there.
                 
               Over all, Bagby does an excellent job on this entry. He points out not everyone has a fair chance depending on their situation. The little guy does need to have a voice and needs the proper representative in office. Adjusting and providing alternatives can help greatly to provide the correct progress and security. As individuals and voters, we should all be interested in the politics around us or we could end up in a situation similar to Nazi Germany, which no one needs a repeat of.
