I think it depends a little whether a parent should involve themselves in a child's decision.
If the child is clearly making a bad decision then I think it is a parents obligation to try to influence that decision in a positive way.
A silent decision is not always saying no to something sometimes it is saying yes to it.
In elections it will be the default decision whether you like it or not.
But the best is a vocal decision.
