I just learned that about a mere 20% of American voters turned out for the
recent election for their Congress. Shocking! Shocking! Shocking and
shameful!" And they call themselves a DEMOCRACY!
I always knew that voter turn-out in the US was low, but ridiculously,
stupidly low I could never imagine! Shame on you! I think, to be fair, the
rest of the world should be brought in to vote in any US election, since
American politics are so important to the rest of the world! In my country
voter turn-out is close to 90% in any election, but we never actually get to
vote on the fate of the earth! I'm deeply shocked!
