    The point is that not-voting can be a tool for reform, and can be a reasonable choice. CAN be. But it definitely is NOT in the US presidential election, where not voting is pretty much direct support for Trump, one of the most psychotic world leaders in the last decades.

    Without significant cooperation and a very specific situation though, refraining from voting should not be practiced, and currently a vast majority of the people advocating for it are Russian trolls trying to help Putler’s removed Trump win the election.

      Right, but I agree with you about that. I’m just saying the meme also applies well to the upcoming UK election.

        Insofar that apathy is the greatest tool of oppressor, yes, I would have to agree.
