In my country voting is:

  • universal,
  • secret
  • mandatory

We also get the day off for voting.

In electoral times, it's really a hassle, everyone voting at the same time. We usually screw up and end up voting fascism too, but at least you know for sure that more than half the population is stupid. You know than more than half of your coworkers, family, friends, are idiots. No electoral college, no gerrymandering. Just plain idiots.

You guys are not even sure how many idiots you have.

Edit: I want to be clear, I don't like or support fascism, be it democratically elected or quiet quitting democracy what put them in power.

Assuming you're Australian, you also gave the world Keith Rupert Murdoch. Thank you so much.

What a weird thing to assume, I'm not.

Australia is known for mandatory voting. At least in these a-here parts.

But we don't get the day off for it
