I can understand why someone would choose not to participate in an unrepresentative electoral process.
Here in the authoritarian hellhole that is the Commonwealth of Australia, showing up to the voting booth is mandatory. We also have preferential voting, and in a few jurisdictions we even have proportional representation.
- ggm 8mo ago"authoritarian hellhole" as in Jon Kudelka's "Tasmania is awful don't come here" hellhole. In these times, I think humour does not work well in written communications without a flag. It's not a hellhole, and it's no more authoritarian now, than it was when I came here in 1988.
