Everyone I know is avoiding the Voting Booths. The General Consensus being that the more people who choose a Side the less Stable the playing Field becomes. A woman asked me if there was still time to Register to Vote for the Election, I asked why she was choosing to Vote now (She's Never Voted) and her Answer was that "She felt she had to". Those are the WORST kinds of Voters to exist.
I agree, however, that the election season shenanigans get worse every time. I spend months concentrating on ignoring all the political ads and dog-and-pony shows, so I can actually think about the individuals and issues. Hard work, but worth it to my mind.
