Unpopular Opinion: There should be no voting age

[Magoo]

In my opinion  it is childish and pointless to deliberately spoil a vote.  Nobody sees the vote except the person doing the sorting and it just goes in the bin. It may give the spoiler sneering rights on a message board, not much else.

If you actually want to ignore the democratic process then don't vote at all.

some people sit in tents on parliaments lawn, some people write letters to the editor,
some people attend political rallies, some people throw dildos, some people burn flags.
some people put a bumper sticker on their car.

everybody has the right to express their feelings towards our governance. there are those among us that dont think popularity contests and personality cults are the best way forward in a democracy, so they attack the process without using the voice they consider to have already lost.

 democracy has become making people choose between a cat shit sandwich and a dog shit sandwich, and you cant leave the table until its gone.  dont forget to tick the box of the one that was better.

If you actually want to ignore the democratic process then don't vote at all.

drawing a flaccid member on your ballot paper says many things.

first you got out of bed, and schlepped down to the voting booth to draw a cock on your ballot paper and submit it.

this is several more steps than your average non voter is prepared to take. this is active abstinence.
prior to this you had to get on the electoral roll. you did this because you wanted to participate in a democracy by having a vote. not so you could draw cocks on your ballot paper and cast a vote for nelson mandela or the milky bar kid.

that came after the first few votes, when you realised that your vote was being used as a permission slip to fuck people over and an endorsement of your tacit approval to do so.

how could anyone with a conscience do that?

if voting got us into this mess, how can we expect it to get us out.?
