I don't vote because I believe that tribalism is by far our biggest current problem, and fighting it is more important than voting. Declaring myself outside of it by declaring myself a non-voter is a principled stand. Being on no side allows me to more fairly judge and criticize the excesses of all sides. I don't vote because I am not 100% certain of the best policies to govern us. I don't vote because I am not a great judge of character. I don't vote because I am an anti-authoritarian moderate and never find anyone that represents me. I don't vote because people generally vote by their personality type and I don't think we should be governed by anyone with my ridiculous personality type. I don't vote because I don't care to stay fully informed about politics in a world where our sense-making establishments are broken and desperate to reach audiences that demand only the affirmation of their own point of view. then, why should I vote? It's a civic responsibility. Some people want me to. Re-evaluation complete |
