Notes
  1. In isolation, Badosa and Gibert are pronounced [βəˈðoszə] and [ʒiˈβɛɾt] respectively.
gollark: I see.
gollark: Well, I was timed out for 10 minutes for whatever reason, and people generally don't press buttons like that by accident.
gollark: There are obviously some non-voting ways to influence politics, but those are generally more costly/annoying, so the situation is probably not much better.
gollark: Discussing politics also has the great effect of sometimes alienating people you know.
gollark: Since your probability of deciding an election by voting is not very high, the expected value of that is very low, and - since people are very hard to convince away from their views - it's even worse for *discussing* politics.
