A vote is a forecast, choosing a filter for our future collective reality. The product of all perspectives, principals, decisions is what shape our shared reality. Our outcome is common ground, finding common ground is a bedrock principal of decency/democracy.

Forecasting future realities is to look at past realities the filter created. To ignore or deny the past being mutually exclusive from the future, is ignorant in my perspective. Ideally, I believe a president should lean to the greater good over the individual/self as a steward.

Democracy holds the power in the people as a natural check and balance. There is no room for ego in public office. To be involved enough, and to form an opinion of not voting, is ego driven and a choice more based on the individual, as compared to the collective.

Voting when based as a greater good, as opposed to individual outcomes created a better social cohesion and society. To abstain from voting, is to remove yourself from reality in spite of yourself. Lack of true honest reflection, undeveloped.
