Abstaining is a form of voting, regardless of whether you consider it "some BS idea."
- Thrymr 10y agoA representative present for a roll call and explicitly abstaining is a form of voting. A citizen staying home on election day is indistinguishable from apathy.
- marxmarv 10y agoSounds like you've made the choice to see it as apathy.
- LionessLover 10y agoI vote that your opinion is not one iota more valuable than that of any non-voter. People like you really should be forced to look into a mirror an hour each day.
- vacri 10y agoHow are you going to force Thrymyr to look in the mirror for an hour per day, if you can't even get someone out to vote? Who would be motivated enough to apply that penalty?

- vacri 10y agoNon-sequitors make for poor trolling.
- facetube 10y agoWould submitting a signed but completely blank absentee ballot be somehow more acceptable to you?
- e40 10y agoYou are just handing power to others, when you refuse to vote. It's that simple.
- woodman 10y agoNo, in that case they are taking power - you haven't handed over anything. It is not a distinction without a difference, "...consent of the governed." etc.
