Wanted to dunk on US voter participation, but got corrected.

Maybe the French wouldn't need to protest 24/7 if they actually voted. Like wtf is this XD

How are you famous for protests and revolutions, but don't participate afterwards XD

They forgot to reserve their right to (literally) hold the gun to their politicians heads. Took back all the power over themselves, just hand it over to some new guys with no durable strings attached.

Still doing pretty damn well compared to countries like Hungary who came full circle in a matter of years.
