You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can't control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone.

Somebody needs to tell me what voting is supposed to be about, then.

Nobody is obliged to vote on a matter. At least not in America, I've heard it might be different in Australia. When I feel as though I cannot make an informed decision, I choose not to vote. Why should my uninformed vote be so valued that I'm obliged to give it? What utility is there in an uninformed vote?

You can vote your opinion and not be a troubled soul. Voting doesn’t require your politics to be a consuming passion.

My politics are outside the Overton window to the point I'm just depending on the rest of my fellow citizens not to make their mess my mess with their choices.
