Acknowledging, and reveling in, the mess we're all in is hardly stoicism.
Not voting is a purely private act, akin to refusing the instruction to
"Repeat" while shampooing. No one cares.
Voting, on the other hand, is a cool social event, at least in small New
England towns. You get to hob-nob with the two-bit local pols, bust their
chops over trash pickup, and maybe grab a free doughnut with neighbors you
hope you don't rub elbows with for another whole damn year!
We are always already (to get a tad Heideggerian) at the ballpark. Who wants
to just sit there, whine, and not watch the game?
