i may spoil my vote, i certainly won't be voting for any of the candidates. capitalism renders democracy impotent, it allows there to be a powerful minority with more influence over "our" elected representatives than we have. if the will of the people goes against the will of the corporate elite, then it is the corporate elite who will get their way. this is not democracy.
