To the Lazy Lefties and Slothful Centrists: F*** all y’all.

59. This has nothing to do with anyone being entitled to anything.

A better, more informed, more activist electorate would look at votes as something they owe to themselves, not to the candidate. Thinking of the vote, or the office a vote possibly leads to, as something the candidate is working for like a prize, a reward, or something earned isn't the best way to think about voting.

It should be (or at least half-way should be) the voters thinking about what kind of government they're going to earn for themselves when they cast their own votes, and when they encourage others to vote.

If you can't be bothered to vote because a candidate just didn't wow you enough, didn't get you psyched up enough, well, that might be partly the candidates fault, but it's also your fault for acting like it's all about you rewarding the candidate for impressing you, and forgetting that it's ultimately about what kind of government you end up with, and if, unimpressed by a particular candidate or not, you wouldn't have been better off with a lackluster politician than his or her opponent.
