" The reality is that barely 50 percent of eligible voters will even bother to show up at the polls"
You think that makes you different from the rest of developed world?
People who really want to vote often can't in any meaningful way and risk threats if they do.
Those who have the right regard it as a low priority as the choices they have are usually so poor as to not make it worth the walk to the voting office.
Either way it's the politicians who screw it up for all of us, whatever regime we live under, and it seems there is little that can de done to change regimes. Unless your name is Blair/Bush and you fancy a bit of illegal warmongering of course.
Sad isn't it.
