"It's a dirty business, always has been, and the only thing you can really count on is that everyone engaged in the process will tell you lies, distort the truth, and slant the hell out of everything in between."
Dirty business - agreed.
Lies, distortions, slant / spin - agreed.
But I will keep doing my darndest to dig my way through all that and vote since it's the only weapon I have in this fight. I guess that's "dealing with 'it'" to you.
Flip side: Most folks (from both extremes) don't "deal" with it -- the lies, distortions, etc. -- they revel in it, ignore it, or are (blissfully?) unaware of it, and all of them vote.
Telling folks who don't like "it" (like me) not to vote isn't going to make "it" go away. "It" will never go away so long as human nature remains flawed -- downhill ever since Eden. Might as well vote anyway.
