As someone from a small European country, it still seems weird to me that you need to encourage people to please go vote. Because where I live basically everyone is required by law to show up at a voting station(but not required to vote, you don't have to cast a valid vote just show up). While it is off course not the perfect system, I think it is still better than hoping non extremists show up to vote. It probably also helps that we don't have a 2 but about 8 party system.

While there are many parts to consider, and everyone loves to make fun of Republicans for the whole "muh freedoms" thing, ironically, I want to point out that part of truly being free is the freedom to not be required to vote or even show up.

That said, it's stupid as fuck and everyone that can should absolutely be there casting their vote.
