Yo Americans

Today is your election day. You need to vote.

And if you don't vote, please shut the fuck up about your government, its policies and the State of the Union. Because people line up for days in advance to vote in parts of the world. Most Americans have a 10 hour window, plus absentee ballots and advance polls.

Fingers crossed for the result many of you seem to want: put the Republicans out with the trash.

Here in Canada, folks I know who want to protest go to the polls and file an empty ballot, recorded as a declined vote. That's participating and protesting.

Indeed. And here in Australia, as you'd know (where voting is compulsory), people protest with "informal" votes - incorrectly filled or blank ballot papers, which are counted but not assigned to any candidate. If a majority of primary votes are informal, the election is null and void and the candidates get to start all over again. That's power.
