When will you stop voting for the lesser of two evils? (Poll)

[F4lconF16]

70. Not voter apathy so much as voter awareness.

In 20 years, when we've shifted right over the past 5 elections, when will you decide enough is enough? 30 years after Reagan, we have Democrats far to his right. 30 years from now, we may have Democrats to the right of today's Republicans, and I sure as hell wouldn't be able to support that. When is the point you won't shift right any more? (Not a direct question, just something to think about)

(That, and I'm really a socialist who thinks the whole system is going to have to come down before anything is going to be fixed. I won't advocate that here, because that's probably against the TOS, but... If we look at the history of the Democratic party over the last 50-70 years, it's pretty disappointing (a massive understatement, really). There are entrenched powers that can't be removed through voting for the lesser of two evils, or really through voting at all anymore.

I expect that there will come a day when we are so thoroughly screwed that people will abandon the system entirely. We're already seeing capitalism tear at the edges, and the people who have been paying attention have seen through the veil long ago. So my point in introducing this question to this group here is to get people thinking about when that day will come for them. It doesn't mean I'm advocating not voting at the current moment, though that may be my personal decision.)
