Why should I vote?

[JTG51]

I do not live in a battle ground state.

I don't understand the issues very well.

Most of what I 'know' about each candidate is simply propaganda from paid advertisements or spin from the partisans that act as informed guests on all of the nightly shows. It frustrates me enough that I'm not even interested in wading through all of the BS to find the truth.

Yet everywhere I look I see an actor or musician who's suddenly become a political expert telling me to vote. Why should I? Is the country really a better place when people like me vote?

Feel free to give me good reasons to change my mind.
