Oh, haha, my rant wasn't really against you, it was more against people who use "apathy" to defend having non-compulsory voting. Sorry if I came off super antagonistic haha. But yeah you can still have your apathy, you just have to make a conscious effort to choose it, and you might find that in that case, you actually do have an opinion even if it's only a slight leaning. I mean, in places where it's NOT compulsory I don't blame people who don't bother going to the trouble of voting for no one. But like in the case you're talking about, sometimes you might not REALLY care but you still do have a preference - like if you don't really want either either person but you particularly don't want one more than the other.
/sigh. Yeah, that whole attitude just BAFFLES me. Like, do you actually realise how much the government influences your life in all these tiny and convenient ways?
