Do you feel good about voting? Even when the choices are between dumb and dumber?

Yes, never too bad to be honest. We all like to complain, but choose most any place at any time in the history of human civilization, and your political influence and access to justice would be worse.

We don't reflect often enough on just how good we have it, and how we have the tools to make our situation even better. Voting must succeed as a robust civic exercise in order to pull quality candidates.
