People who don't vote are not the problem

I usually see that people from all sides of the political spectrum get mad if someone tells them that they didn't vote. That it is considered irresponsible or morally wrong. But the problem are actually uneducated voters.

If a person who doesn't feel educated enough in politics to cast a meaningful vote decides to abstain then that is a completely fine and rational decision. Also if none of the candidates represent your views then the best thing is to abstain.

Voting is often framed as a civic duty but it isn't it is a right and one is free to choose to exercise or not his/her rights.

Just to be clear, I am not from the US and we have a lot of parties here with usually around 5 to 7 parties being elected.
