I have more opinions on a federal level and in the USA, because it would better reflect interests in life.
So honestly - if I don't have an opinion on the topics they argue, do you want my vote contaminating everyone else's? I'm honestly surprised by the reaction. I would have thought that those who do have interests at stake for this vote should be jumping up and down that those of us who don't have (worthwhile) interests at stakes stay on the sidelines.

Do you not see the hypocracy in this statement? You can't see why you should vote, BUT, if something did interest you, you would want to be the one making the decisions? That is what constituents do. They make decisions on your behalf. The decision you are responsible for and have control over is voting on the consituent to represent you.
Sorry, you dont' get to make the big decisions about what you truly care about, your elected representative has that power.
Sounds like you will have to run for public office if you want to make all the big decisions. Can I see your platform please? I want to see if what you stand for is compatible with what I vote for
