"he winners won't care that you didn't vote for them, because they didn't have your vote anyway. And the losers won't care, because they're now out of power and have no further reason to seek your vote."
Sounds fine to me. At least I'll know where 90% of my enemies are. It's better than being led down the garden path and being told how great life is while the wolf is eating my children in the background.
That has to be among the most stupid things I've heard yet.
If you're fine with having your enemies in positions of power, thinking that will keep your children safe, that makes you a real chump.
