Voting for government officials gives one the
advantage of the moral high ground when
complaining about the actions taken by the elected
government. Complaining about the government is
universal in scope. Being able to do so openly is a
celebrated right in the United States. Anyone and
everyone can and does complain about government
mistakes, taxes, and injustices. But if you were diligent
enough to select your representatives in the voting booth,
then you can complain with unbridled righteousness.
You can even complain about your candidate turned
representative, claiming they have deviated from their
projected path. Of course, you can always rail against
the opposition. But, if you voted for his/her opponent,
your complaints are that much more legitimate.
Voting is also a celebrated right in this country,
so vote, it will strengthen your argument. While you
are casting your ballot remember, there exist places
on this planet where people give their lives for that right.
