madbakerI generally avoid discussing politics - partly because very few people want to discuss as opposed to hearing confirmations of their own opinions. But on Election Day, I will say this:
If you are an eligible voter, I feel it is your civic duty to vote.
Unless you cannot be bothered to use that privilege wisely.
By which I mean educate yourself on the candidates and issues - my feeling does not change on this if you come to a reasoned decision that does not match mine. If you can't be bothered to vote in an informed manner, do the rest of us a favor and just don't vote.
For the record, I have been an informed voter in every election since I became eligible. (Possibly excluding one that was limited to a local school board election.)
