Democracy is meaningless if the majority choose not to participate. It is ridiculous that the majority cares more about who is going to win the superbowl than who is going to be president. I bet more people voted for american idol than will vote for president. That seems like model democracy to you?
It's not that fucking difficult to vote. Omigod, you mean i have to vote?!?!!? Whatever will i do?!?!?
Being forced to vote wouldn't violate civil liberties any more paying taxes violates your civil liberties. I'm not sure about the wording of the constitution, but i don't think that it expressly outlines your right not to vote.
I don't know about you, but i think people should be obligated to participate in the process that makes america what it is.
