THE STATE OF S.A. DEMOCRACY by Zapiro

No, you’re belong deliberately simple. Voter apathy is a major issue in the country and irresponsible rhetoric only perpetuates the negative feelings voters already have, rather than inspiring them to take action.

Do you sincerely believe an individual breakdown of each prominent political party that highlights how useless each one was is a constructive way of overcoming apathy? Zapiro’s a prominent media figure that could have used his platform to stress the importance of voting to uplift and encourage - yet opted to be a part of the problem by further instilling the cynicism so many already feel.

Telling people to go vote regardless after thoroughly discouraging them, then getting upset when the defeatist message he cast out into the public himself resonated with others is moronically counter-productive.
