> Do not vote. Wonderful way to be lazy while pretending to take a moral stand: Claim they're all crooks, that you can't see any difference between them, and that you refuse to participate. It's laziness mixed with condescension and moral outrage. Perfect!

  Democracy != Elections In Ancient Greece, elections were considered (rightfully) as oligarchic, and sortition was the true instrument of democracy. Sure, their democracy was flawed (not everyone was a citizen), but it's still better than our so called modern "democracies" where a closed oligarchy of influent and wealthy people rule the world while providing the illusion of freedom. Elections are the circuses of our times, a modern game used to distract the masses, where people get to support their champion and their party.
