Respectfully disagree. I read that only 20% of the voters showed up in the United Kingdom to put the Labor Party back in power. I don’t see ignorance and apathy or protesting by doing nothing as virtues in an individual or a society. I think there is usually a choice to be made - and if one cannot vote for the best - hold your nose and vote for the least worse. Personally, I’ll take an arguably obnoxious and flawed pro-America president with a history of generating peace in the world over an unprincipled Parkinsonian bribe-taker whose weakness and fecklessness set the world on fire and who enriched his family by taking money from our enemies and just coincidentally let them advance their interests, irrespective of America’s interests. When there’s any kind of choice to be made, I see voting as a civic duty.

Succinctly and intelligently worded. We need to be aware of our consumption of digital junk food.
