Dirruti???
You are in the majority in this country. No place in this country did half of eligible voters bother to vote. I hope you used the time wisely, how much time do you figure? The time it would take to eat at a fast food joint?
As long as the majority feel this way, the party with the best "get out the vote" program will win.
Or the "hot button" issues that bring in voters will put candidates in office.
I vote every election. My vote for governor was wasted. I was voting for a candidate rated A by the NRA, against the incumbent, rated C- by the NRA. (How could they rate her C- when she vetoed our ccw law three times, and had to be overridden to get it as law?). When there are three challengers to an incumbent, the incumbent almost always wins.
I personally choose to be a Citizen, and not a Serf. Freedom involves duties like, obey the law, voting, jury duty, sometimes military service. Freedom has never been, and it is not now, "free".
I trust all of you that joined the majority with Dirruti are happy with the government the rest of us picked for you. I can say that I did my best to improve things.
