Post-election musing by the Bolsavik

Last week, as the Bolsavik pulled into the parking lot at the Democratic Party of OC’s special meeting, he thought that the Democrats invited this trouble upon themselves for not planning for a better candidate, putting all the eggs in the Joe Dunn basket and then finding themselves going to hell in a handbasket.

Also around this time last week, commenter Littlesaigonese wrote about the choices for First District Supervisor, referring to Hoa Tran, Dina Nguyen and Janet Nguyen, respectively:

“A candidate that can’t speak for himself , another that has no income (and no income tax paid) and the incumbent is pretty much a lost cause and they all want to do the talking for us. Hah.”

Well, you know how they say if you don’t vote you can’t complain?

Actually, the Bolsavik doesn’t buy that. What holy book says if you don’t vote you can’t complain? What statistics prove that voting is better at effecting changes, than complaining? Just who died and made only the voters king?

But anyway, if you do buy into that logic, then it’s only a minor extension to also conclude that if you don’t run you can’t complain either.
