OK, person who just yelled at me for encouraging voting, because you say the candates who win aren't always perfect, I suspect you either:
* don't actually care at all who runs US government
-or-
* DO care, but want policies that are the opposite of what you claim.
Actually, I'm pretty sure it's the second one.
People who argue against voting seem to be everywhere at the moment. I recently unfollowed two of them.
I'm sorry you got caught at the sharp end.
@CppGuy I mean, convince people whose politics are opposed to yours not to vote is a pretty good strategy, I suppose.
Anyway, US democracy is far from perfect, but I doubt very much that having freer and fairer elections would somehow make it worse.
@mattblaze We can’t get better than the electorate chooses. Let’s try to approach that limit as closely as we can.
@mattblaze I will never cease to be amazed by the military-grade solipsism of people who fail to grasp that politics and elections are *collective* undertakings and that, barring some sort of weird identical-twin convergence, no set of two or more people will agree about everything.
