I know more people that "don't vote and are proud of it" [they
   have a zillion reasons that usually amount to "what's the
   point"] than I do people who vote.

   I vote nearly every election - not all but most. I think it's
   because I was in Boy Scouts and civic duty was a big thing.
   You're a citizen of a country, so that's what you ought to do
   for the process to continue properly.

   It also gives me reason to complain if I want.

   I have a family member that doesn't vote - never voted but he
   also doesn't complain about politics. His reason? "Didn't vote,
   can't complain". So, he's honorable about that.

   Funny thing is, I hate politics and don't really care who is in
   office. I just like seeing a number go "up" by one because of
   me.
