Why not? Im in the UK and I say 'vote for the other guy' the fact that our and everyone elses democratic system sucks as much as yours is no reason to get complacent.

Take the lobbyists away (get money out of it) and then we'll see how long our beloved major parties can cling on to power.
The Democracy we all have now is pretty poor. The Founding fathers of the USA would be rather ashamed if they saw the corrupt unconstitutiontal systems we all use today.
As long as people see an independant vote as a waste, all we have is a farce of a democracy that is 50% better than a dicatorship, nothing more, nothing less. So we have two fat self serving incompetent groups of liars who 'take it in turns' to screw things up - rather than just one.
well whoopy do and power to the people! We change our governments underwear from red to blue every 4 to 8 years, aren't we civiliized and clever?

A clipping I found from years back:



Republicans have to get religous people and single issue voters like gun nuts to the polls to survive. One thing Democrats can proudly claim is the need to get people who have no idea about what's going on or how our government works to vote in huge numbers--and these people mainly vote Democrat.

I clearly see some shifts in polices when in comes to USA not only due to personal views of people at the top but also due to public opinion.
Think usually freeze due to disagreement.
You also cant turn such a big ship as USA in one day due to realities of the world.
Sometimes there are election promises and then reality kicks in....

Not saying that i see everything in pink though.
