Election Guides: Why Vote?; or, FUCK APATHY
I've actually done several other "Election Guides" and didn't get around to posting them here.

This turned into a lot more research than I anticipated and I haven't had as much time to devote to research as I would have liked. At the very least, though, I want to post something about where this conflict came from and where it seems to be headed. If I have the time and focus later, I hope to add actual commentary about its development and the ( Read more... )
