And although you may be emigrating, what about the rest of the US population? Don't you think about voting for them, if nothing else?

thats not true, I am not talking about taking over govt, if we did that, we would just become the same corrupted assholes that run it now ["the subverts became politicians, and finally got the upper hand.. but meanwhile back in subvert city, someone's writing on the wall, fuck yr government.."]
what I am talking about is social revolution towards unity. Voting is precisely the opposite of this. And further, I am talking about organizing to to real good and take real power back. This was the true success of the 1960s, because openly and honestly people did not even have the options of voting, and so they did what they could themselves because they had NOT FAITH in the BRUTALLY CORRUPT AMERICAN GOVERNMENT. Well my friends, it is the SAME GOVERNMENT TODAY as back then...
Not voting, I want people to become involved in all the problems directly, not vote for some other dude to take care of them. WE OURSELVES need to go into the volunteering, go to the hospitals, the schools, and parks, the malls, the old-folks homes, the homless shelters, the refugee settlement agencies, the welfare/social security offices, we need to all organize together and each one pick up the slack, rather then continue on with four more years of "i'm sure that someone I voted for will take care of all this shit everywhere, instead of me actually doing it..."
voting is a myth, you actually have to go out there and do something!
