I'll admit it: I didn't vote.
Nope. Did not vote. Why didn't I vote? Well, I didn't feel informed enough to vote. I have so much else I'd rather pay attention to, that politics just goes right over my head. So when it comes to Election Day, I'm usually pretty clueless.
Sure, I could have voted anyway. I could have voted all Dem because I tend to align myself that way more often than not. I could have voted all Rep because I'm angry or bitter. I could have voted by whose name sounds silliest. Or created a pretty pattern with my selections. Or voted for Mickey Mouse or Kodos (which, I am proud to say, I have done in the past). Or left the whole thing blank!
Would any of these have been better? Maybe so. I'm sure there's an argument out there for them. But in my heart, if I don't know who I believe is best suited for the job, then I don't feel qualified to vote. And that's my decision.
On a lighter note, it's Hump Day! And as such, I have a special post-election hump day link to share!
