The people have died is such a bad argument imo. If people died for the freedom to have abortions, that doesn’t mean a pregnant woman has to have an abortion. True freedom means that you can choose whether to vote or not to, and people definitely didn’t die to force everybody to vote, which just results in uninformed and non-caring people to vote for the first candidate that tells easy solutions to everything instead of admitting the complex reality.
I’m just saying, millions of voters stayed home during the U.S. election, and we ended up with someone turning that country into a fascist hellhole as a result of that.
Don’t want to vote? If you fail to vote even with a “void” or “none of the above” option to meet you halfway with your lack of desire to follow the issues, then at that point that’s on you and you deserve to be treated as what you are - someone who allows the country to slip further into the hands of wannabe dictators.
You have the right to choose no candidate for the election much like you have the right not to have an abortion. Not showing up is a different story.

Abortion is just not analogous to voting.
We’re talking about laws so ‘true freedom’ is irrelevant in this context.
But mostly, compulsory voting doesn’t eliminate the freedom to not vote. Just go in and write bart simpson like a certain percent always do.
