Voting in bourgeois election circuses in the modern epoch   has become  a
huge political attack
on class organization and consciousness . It only sows more illusions and
parliametary 
cretinism. The way the state (bureacracy mainly)  works is to round out the
best policies for the capitalist rulers
as a whole, mainly the huge monopolist  banks and corporations.  In
capitals  present crisis no lasting reforms can be won anymore for workers
as happened during the 18th- 19th cent. epoch  of ascendent capitalism.

This modern era (since WW1), any refroms will only be won thru mass
collective action of workers and even these will be fleeting, with the
bosses/ their state/media working in tandem smash up oppositon movement s
and take everything back -and counterattack, as they are doing now , & for
the last 20yrs. . Look  at history , in the US  the liberals-AFL-
Democratic Party, is a huge graveyard for   mass  social movements . The
ruling class is grateful for all  that 'donkey' work, especially the 'left'
cover that opportunists give to this work. . 

The rulers just spent $3 BILLIONS just on the  Federal offices up for
grabs-sale  in the 2000 election circus!
They do this so that their Parties-- the Demopublicans egt their palms
greased enough so that
the ruling class gets 98%+ of what it wants.
It is also  to perpetuate a gigantic sham of  US capitalist 'democracy"  
to promote the lie and fraud that
waged workers have any real say-so in determining the affairs of  state
policy/capitalist money grubbing, etc.  & those that promote voting today
are only playing into the hands of the rulers. 

The elections are held the votes counted (or  many not counted!) then the
results are proclaimed ,
and the capitalists windbag media hacks announce  that socialism is dead ,
that not even 1% voted for it,
so everybody just get back to work, the bosses win again, and "God bless
our wonderful 'democracy"."
And congratulations  to the vote fodder-reformers, you  have not organized
one single worker or stopped 
one single capitalist state attack! But you have helped the bosses 
(objectively) to keep the masses stupified
with more 'democracy' lies and reactionary elitist   "political salvation"
by  promoting electing  'representatives' 
that can do whatever the f--- they want, once they get elected.

Bourgeois democracy  has degenerated into  the antithesis of workers
freedom -liberation in our age.
