To all that are withholding their votes does that apply to local elections as well ?
I enjoy local elections, I tend to never vote for anyone seeking re-election and a favor anyone who lists their current occupation as retired.
What is needed in gov't is less career minded people and more people with common sense knowledge.
In any given election, can the majority ultimately
force the minority using the compelling power of the state to act against it's will or self interest for the purpose to benefit the will or self interest of the majority?
If I and my majority friends use the state and the elective process to
force you to our will, what will you and your friends do in response?
Reverse the roles and what happens?
In the meantime, what grows more powerful and enjoys a monopoly of
force, what will ignore common sense and what will multiply well beyond any limiting factor that is attempted to be applied to it?
What happens when in any given election, the voters are told one thing, promised one thing and regardless of the election outcome, none of the promises are ever kept?
How then do you control an entity that in effect only wants your vote and
forces you silence when it begins to act now in it's own self interest and often to the harm of both majority and minority voters?
How can a society call itself free when the opposite of free, that is
force, is such a common product within it's structure?
Why would one vote for
force when one advocates it wants free?
