You
probably know that He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named won another Republican primary
caucus this week.
The
folks who voted for HWSNBN were exercising their right in our democracy,
befuddled as it may be. That’s all I can say without getting into fear and trembling.
The
gross shame of all this is made so much worse by all the folks who didn’t vote.
There
are almost 2.2 million men and women of voting age in Nevada.
About
34,500 of them voted for HWSNBN—that’s about 1.6 per cent. So, more than 98 per
cent of Nevadans didn’t vote for him.
Only
about 15 per cent of registered Republicans turned out to vote for anyone.
Non-participation
is killing our democracy.
If
you don’t vote in your state’s primary, you’re going to have to live with the
candidate picked by a few other folks. How much do you trust ‘em?
