In some ways, voting is like sport.

Winning is certainly a motivator; we want our candidates to win. We want our motions and resolutions to pass. However, there’s also the thrill of participating/fighting/competing/contributing.

We are disappointed when the majority doesn’t vote as we do, but it doesn’t stop us from voting.

Win or lose, we vote because we can, and because we have a voice that needs to be heard.

Teams aren’t just determined by a mess of blurry party lines. There are two, clearly defined teams which transcend the fray: voters and non-voters.

Be on the right team. When you have the privilege and freedom to do so, vote.
