What if only 1% voted in a democracy?
You would delegitimize the system.
In the worst case scenario, what the 1% voted for is taken as valid, uncovering the farce of modern democracy.
In the best case, the system cannot continue since it has no legitimacy and must be re-founded.
quotingThe system needs your vote to continue to exist.
