On: Tell HN: Vote.

For better or worse, US have a lot of coercive power around the world, and your choice of president can make a big difference for a lot of people who have no say in the election.

So as a non-american I tell you that it is your goddam duty to get informed and vote.

You may not like to vote, but you have to. It's like watching a car crash about to happen and you have the ability to prevent it - sure it infringes on your personal freedom to mind you own business, but it's your duty to do something anyway.

As an American, it is my right to be able to choose not to vote.

[olavk → jobeirne]

OK, I suppose it's probably for the best if you don't vote.

[jobeirne → olavk]

Oh trust me, I did. But it sure as hell wasn't for your sake.
