Don't Tell Me to Vote

OR ANYTHING ELSE, for that matter, but let's focus on "the vote". Commercials urging me to vote are everywhere these days. One even tried to shame me into voting by mentioning that  my friends and family could look up whether or not I voted. So let's get the record straight, OK? Voting may be a right, but it is not a duty; it is a discretionary privilege. Nothing more. And if you think you can shame people into doing what you want them to do, then you are the same kind of cheap thug who tried to shame people into wearing masks. Try logical persuasion, no, wait, that would require effort on your part.
