[QUOTE="Rez Exelon, post: 3498697, member: 5800"] I think we're pretty close on this point but I personally think it's much more that people get comfortable with incumbents. Not that they think it's rigged (at that level). Because it's much easier to be lazy and just kind of go with it. Same reason I hate that our state has a party line vote option. There should be NO party line option. If someone wants to vote all Rep or all Dem then sure. But the [I]pure laziness[/I] of just hitting a check box is disgraceful considering it's like 7 seconds to hit all the checkboxes on the ballot. It's the same principle of rooting against things. Like I don't give too much of a crap about NFL but I'll always root against the Pats. I don't watch MLB but I'll always root against the Yankees. People get motivated by spite or by wanting the fight much easier than wanting the feel good thing. It's why most wars are always rooted in dividing people into sides. [/QUOTE]
