I think that distain for politicians is pretty universal. Someone said that the trouble with democracy is that you always end up with a politician. But I di sometimes think that many of us take our freedoms for granted. (I realise at this point there may be comments about Covid and gun control ).
But we can, under normal circumstances move around our country freely from one State to another without "papers". We have freedom of assembly and we can deride our leaders as much as we like. Try that in Moscow or Beijing.
Anyone who chooses not to vote should try living in a country where that freedom doesn't exist.
