Yesterday my Tunisia began the first step in electing its second democratic president...
And the people have spoken.
I am still emotional about this because I remember when the dictator used to be "elected" by 99,9% of the votes aka fake elections and used to be elected for life.
And i remember a time when freedom of speech was a dream, where u could be jailed for a yes or for a no.
So for all my friends who live under straining regimes i hope so see a free democratic world. And for my friends from true democratic regimes... Enjoy it because your freedom is the result of the sacrifices and fights of many generations before you.
Voting is truly a right and a responsibility :')
... in many talk shows in foreign countries i see people disillusioned in the voting system and not willing to vote... To that I say i respect that u are dissatisfied with politicians ... And this is what a blank vote is for...
I feel like voting a blank vote is sooooo important in this case because it sends a message. "I care about my countrie's futur and yet i am dissatisfied with yall politicians"
but not going to vote sends another message completely " i don't give a damn abt what happens in my futur and that of my children, i am desisting for my right to have an opinion, u can do all ya want, pass any law u want, make peace and war with whomever you want, this does not concern me."
A
many people don't realize the impact between the blank vote al noand the vote at all.
Voting is important whether u vote for a list, a candidate, blank ballet, no matter what criteria u base your choice on ... it is important to show that u care. For me it's like being asked "do u want a hamburger or a pizza?" And u give no answer whatsoever...
Best case scenario the person in charge is considered and will choose for u to the best of her/his ability. Second best scenario, they will give u whatever and u might get sth that trigger ur food allergies or sth that u hate, but worse case scenario they might order a pizza with a side dish of fries, then give you only just half of ur due....while keeping the rest for themselves and try to convince you that this is what ur money could get u. And u will Never be the wiser.. because... guess what !!! U didn't even speak your mind and made your presence known.. u opened the door for someone to stomp all over u ...so friends wherever you are in the world.. voting IS truly important... And, having lived under a dictatorship, i can truly appreciate it's force and it's importance. Thxx ...you all (btw : under the previous regime... Just posting this Facebook statut would have ended up with me in a jail cell
