    I’ll be at the polls. As important as the presidential is this year the locals always have a large impact on a lot of non insignificant things, and sometimes massively significant things, as well as the ballot initiatives. In almost any race I can respect the choice of abstention, but if you don’t show up for at least the ballot initiatives, the closest thing the US has to direct democracy, then I just think you’re not even trying to make democracy work. I know I can’t say the gym isn’t working if I’m not even trying to use the equipment.
