I am sorry. It does not matter from which angle I look at it. Voting is probably the most mindlessly innefficient, useless waste of human potential. Guaranteed to be exploited when measured against the energy input of a populace doing it against the negative positive ratio output of governance in a four year cycle. I am trying to give the "this time will make the difference" crowd the benefit of the doubt but I can't even...
While you stand in the queue think about how you feel while you are standing there.
Be honest with yourself.
You feel pretty stupid, don't you?
To vote is to endorse the system.
We get fined in Australia for not voting. It’s not a huge fine but pisses me off just as much as voting.
Someone help me to help this woman afford her abstinance.
Funny thing is they would probably arrest someone for paying people not to vote.
Hypocrisy much?
They can extort you for not voting and punish those who support someone who does not want to vote.
Sounds like FEMA in a disaster blocking aid.
It is all so disappointing…however nothing is permanent 😅
Totally unfair to oblige people to vote. Abstention is a right too and a way of expressing our disaffection with the system.
Scribble your objection on the ballot paper.
It’s a small amount of time if it has any chance of helping to prevent loss of constitutional rights which are evaporating now
My time appears to be worth more to me.
