[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1566874, member: 2189"] Compelling me to purchase a product that doesn't meet or fit my needs seems to me is the pinnacle of draconian power made worse by forcing me into the store in the first place. Would we tolerate a commercial entity who positioned themselves to be able to do this to us? When you see politicians as mere products and votes as currency, compulsory voting just becomes another nail in the coffin of personal freedom and choice. If compelled to vote, I would intentionally vote for the absolute worst candidate on the ballot and encourage others to do the same in the hopes of making our condition more dire forcing the reality of needed change to set in. But the utter impossibility of this action is made so by the reality of trying to determine just which candidate is truly the worst in the first place at achieving those ends. Maybe that speaks volumes to why the growing trend of non voters is actually growing to begin with. ;) [/QUOTE]
