On the other hand you get to vote who is in the gang. So choose wisely.

You only get two options for each vote, and there is no reason that one or both of the options would need to be aware of or be in favor of an acceptable solution to the given problem. In fact, the chance of that happening is vanishingly small.
I vote in the primaries and the general election. In the former there are a lot more than 2 options. You’re aware primaries exist, right?
You used to get to vote. It doesn't work like that anymore.
Please explain to me how I don’t get to vote any more.
Most of the people on the planet don't get to vote.
Unfortunately. It looks like even 25 years ago over 50% lived in democracies, but the rise of autocracy recently is certainly depressing.
