Yea verily, the time is once more upon us. The lazy and infirm have cast their absentee ballots. The apathetic are mildly aware that an election is happening at all, and the majority of the dissatisfied masses will simply not vote instead of “throwing away” their votes on perfectly viable third party candidates. Sigh… Such a sad mess has our representative democracy become. Projections show that perhaps 39% of registered voters will turn out tomorrow. Bear in mind that only about 45% of eligible citizens are even registered, so we’re looking at about 1/8th of the population deciding who’s going to run us into the ground.
