  • “Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.” John Stuart Mill

    Not voting is still a choice, and a choice too many make. The argument makes sense in a contest where the winner of the popular vote loses the election, but in this case, the majority of people who could be bothered to vote chose Trump. I find myself much less angry with this outcome than last time he won. It’s more disappointment this time, at least for me.
