52 percent of Americans did not vote in the last election, which means the majority of Americans did not give their consent to be ruled by either Trump or Clinton.

If America is a democracy, how come there is still a government in place when the majority of people didn't give their consent to be governed? Why did the minority of voters get to impose their will upon the majority of non-voters? 馃

I wonder what the statistics will be for today's farce of an election in the UK. My guess is, despite the media desperately trying to convince the public that most people are now radically politicized, most people in the UK probably don't wish to be ruled, either.

"No man has received from nature the right to rule his fellow human beings." - Denis Diderot, 1751

Vote for no one. Rule yourself.
