An election is not a popularity contest, or an award for showmanship. If you want to fulfill your duty as a citizen, then you need to become an informed voter. And if you are not informed, then the most patriotic thing you can do on election day is stay home. Otherwise your vote, based on whims or emotions, is playing Russian roulette with the fate of this nation.

一場選舉不是一場受歡迎的比賽，也不是給表演技巧頒獎。如果你想盡到作為公民的責任，那麼你需要成為一個了解情況的選民。如果你沒有了解情況，那麼在選舉日最愛國的行為就是待在家裡。否則，你基於衝動或情緒的投票，就是在和這個國家的命運玩俄羅斯輪盤。
