MacMagus, even if I might agree with your voting choice, I don't agree with your characterization of Americans who don't vote like we do. Gimme a break. You just said believe they're supporting policies that only cause them more suffering, how self-defeating and misguided they are, to not be as enlightened as we are. Then you compared them to self-flagellating coal-sucking Puritan pilgrims. A tad judgmental and superior, perhaps? Even if I disagree with middle Americans, I'd still defend their ability to be the judge of their own self interest, just as I'd defend yours, or anyone else who makes the effort to participate in an election.
