in much of the world, there is this idea that some magnificent figure can be elected to finally solve all these problems the country has been having.

in Scandinavia, i don't think anyone believes in that idea.

a vote is a small nudge toward some goal.

the way it works here, you don't all gather round this one saviour figure.

the attitude is more that you nudge them toward things. strategic voting. the vote is not always about who should run the country. sometimes, it's just to give the politicians a hint. "you're doing it wrong. stop that."

ideally, you don't vote for a person or a party. you vote for policies you want for your country.

i feel this has not been explained sufficiently to the rest of the world.

ZACHHHHH SHORT!!!! Now THIS is the way to bounce back! #Tigers #RepDetroit #Baseball #MLB
