there's a bunch of people here at work that are registering to vote for the first time (ages in the late 20's to mid 30's) just to vote against Bush, and they aren't throwing away their vote on Nader.

Because, quite obviously, the US rules the world. No, really, if you want to talk about another country's politics, knock yourself out.

clearly i was joking, though i do think you should join the democratic party

http://www.democrats.org/

You can find the links to do some where on there, i think even rockthevote.org has links to sign up online.

One former president summed it up very well:

Abraham Lincoln was urged by some aides to suspend the election of 1864 during the US Civil War - but despite the expectation that he would lose, he refused.

"The election is a necessity," Lincoln said. "We cannot have a free government without elections; and if the rebellion could force us to forgo, or postpone, a national election, it might fairly claim to have already conquered us."


Change the word "rebellion" to "terrorism" and it's perfect.
