    If it’s a foregone conclusion then you can’t get upset at people not voting.

      I don’t get upset about people not voting, I just believe democracy works better in countries where voting is compulsory. Also, a much easier change that few would oppose is that election day should be on the weekend. Well, the Jews and Christians might fight it out, but they both suck.

          Democracy is a continuum, and we trade individual rights for collective benefits, like making healthcare and education free (and compulsory) for a better society. Americans just didn’t read the contract and individuals are now fucked over in favour of the state and its oligarchs. You can disagree with me if you’re an anarcho-syndicalist but my comparison relates to current, existing democracies (e.g. Belgium, Australia)
