Today was election day here in the US. Not many big races in my neck of the woods, mostly mayors etc.
Voter turnout was low.
And yet our government has the lowest approval rate by the people that supposedly elect them.
Voting takes minutes.
At my poling station I was number 20 on the machine.
20!
And I voted after work!
It is no wonder why our towns/cities/states and country are run by idiots.
We don't care.
Every voice counts...regardless of your party.
You have no right to complain, if you didn't cast a ballot.

There are some countries where you are required to vote and will get fined if you don't.
I voted! And everyone for whom I voted was elected ... it's nice to be in the majority once in a while.
