I'm not quite sure what you mean here.  Are you saying that the FUD that

Don't get me wrong - I will be going to my polling station if I can.  But that
does *not* mean any of the candidates are worthy of my vote.  I've talked to
some on line friends about there system.  There is a large body of US voters

that least offends them.
