"A rational individual should abstain from voting." -I'm beginning to agree. It's almost like growing up in a religious household. When you are told how important voting is your whole life by your parents, you watch them work at polling stations, put up signs in their yard etc.
It's like being told how important going to church is, having parents that are elders in church and wear crucifixes. -It may be inconsequential and have zero ROI but damned if you don't feel guilty for not participating. It's going to be hard for me to not vote... but not because I feel like doing so has consequence but rather because I've been so conditioned to feel guilty if I don't. Weird.
