I’m sick of the system, but I feel a very deep civic duty to stand and be counted. First election I ever voted in was a school levy (I voted no) and I haven’t missed an election since.

The most important thing is to bear in mind we the people have a duty that goes beyond the ballot box to ensure that votes are counted and that elections are fair.

I just want the option “none of the above”, which if it received the majority of votes would mean the parties would have to present new candidates for an election.

progressives see no need to accelerate the existing trend toward despotism?

Orly? As long as it was their despot they will never
STOP accelerating that trend.

Under your scenario, the rats win huge supermajorites and your doomsday becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Would the resulting congress be legitimate if it rested on so thin a foundation?

It would be if office and have control of the country whether you considered it legitimate or not.

Those in power already demonstrated they don’t care about the Concent of the governed and therefore won’t care if nobody votes.
