No, I don't. It is not all that major. If we had free speech and real elections, I would still most likely not participate in any political discussions and probably wouldn't bother to vote anyway. I am also underwhelmed by low quality of leaders that US democracy system produce, which make me believe that just because someone was elected in real elections, such as Bush-jr, does not necessarily mean that he would do a better job, than a man, who won not so "real" elections, such as Putin. In the end of the day, the whole point of elections is to put the best man to do the job, and I do believe that Putin is better at doing his job, than most of those elected in free countries.
