there’s a full third who had a choice and refused to do anything

We've got at least two options for blame when it comes to the last election:

  • Politicians who wield actual power and use it to do nothing (at best)
  • Voters, largely struggling to survive, wielding little power, even in aggregate, due to a rigged system

I live for the day people blame the former instead of the latter, though I know I'll never see it.
