participation. I don't agree with it, but there is some logic there.

But to couch it in terms of "the only moral choice" is overly dramatic, self congratulatory, arrogant, self righteous and stupid.

People who vote are immoral? People who sit on the sidelines and complain while doing absolutely nothing are the moral compass we should follow, really?

Are we just a bit sanctimonious this morning?

Exercise your right to vote or don't. Fine with me. But you have to be really full of yourself to say in effect that anyone who doesn't agree with me is immoral.

And evidently, non participation in the process does not stop people from bltching about it.
