The "mandatory voting" discussion made me remember this piece.

    I enjoyed this article, thanks for sharing, unsung! I think treating anything as absolute in a changing world is pretty dangerous, and it's a good reminder that the political structure is not (and should not be) set in stone.

    Great article OP.
    It totally relates.
    If there was mandatory voting in your country I wonder if President-elect Trump would be here today?

    you call that eloquent? I call it rubbish partisan nonsense. change all that rhetoric to the right and you'd be dismissing it rather than praising it.

    so that's where you got your childish little "snowflakes" insult.

    Nothing I just read was anything I haven't heard from Faux News in the last 8 years. And if it was so eloquently written, the author should know that "whom to blame" is incorrect form. Stop using the word "whom" in an attempt to sound intelligent when it is, in fact, incorrect usage.
