yeah - this is the same sentiment out founding fathers had (in US obv.)

That's why we vote. The system created relieves us of worrying about being manipulated by powerful people, by letting the people run the government.
The truth is, your opinion only counts as much as your vote. That's how it should be. Your fringe opinions shouldn't count more than the rest of the people's opinions. So go vote. And let that be that.
- garbagetime 6y agoVoting is a small part of a functioning democracy. Voting, then letting that be that, is very undemocratic.

- garbagetime 6y agoI disagree. You say voting equals government by the people. I say voting does not equal government by the people.
