Haven't we dig ourselves into a deep enough grave already? From the embarassing recount to the electors revolt attempt. Our folks did not show up to vote in critical states, that's it - inconvinient truth to you.
All this talk that you gotta do more than simply vote - WRONG. If the only thing you do is vote in each and every election, perharps this is all you ever need to do politically because then politicians will be doing their job that we pay them to do.
