Lord HeeHaw II@JustRobForNow @evoterra @benroyce I like the Australian system (I think STV), other than compulsory voting. Not voting can also be a statement of political choice, even if it is too often abused.
@hoare_spitall @JustRobForNow @evoterra
not voting is for morons
Mamdani v Cuomo
Magyar v Orban
HELLLOOOOOO???
@benroyce @JustRobForNow @evoterra To vote or not to vote . . . . I stand by my statement. And while I support a very large proportion of what @benroyce says, I think it would improve his viewpoint of electoral democracy if he were to be able to stop viewing the exhibition in the lobby only through the US letterbox. When there are 30 candidates, and none of them are worth a vote, then it's a tad hard to label the non-voter a moron. It's not always a simple strategy game.
Stawman argument.
“None of them are worth a vote” is rarely true, but is the cry of the detached non-voter clinging to some misguided sense of moral clarity.
I used to be one. I’ve grown. It’s possible.
@evoterra @benroyce @JustRobForNow So, in how many political systems have you actually qualified to actually cast a vote?

So, in how many political systems have you actually qualified to actually cast a vote?
Three so far, working on the fourth one. And I do agree with you, not voting IS making a political statement.
That statement is "I don't vote, so all you candidates can safely ignore me and continue to try and court the votes of people who actually show up to cast a ballot."
Like, that's how voting works. This isn't complicated or controversial.
