America. Vote!

There is only one thing that separates a democracy from every other form of government and that is the right to vote in free and fair elections.  But more importantly, your vote guarantees that all Americans -- as Abraham Lincoln so deftly noted in his Gettysburg Address -- have a government that is "of the people"; "by the people"; and, clearly, "for the people".   For this reason, if you don't vote, you have no right to complain about how you're being governed.  That's because you handed your own destiny off to someone else.  At least by voting, you know you've "tried" to make a better country; even if the results aren't exactly what you wanted.
