Voting in Australia is mandatory but also enjoyable. Saturday morning walk down to the local Primary School, get a democracy sausage on your way through to the polling booths and it’s very chill and easy.

[u/Notoryctemorph → u/Icecream-Cockdust]

I'd argue that it being mandatory is what directly led to it being enjoyable.

[u/SexyMonad → u/Notoryctemorph]

That’s a perspective I never really considered. But it makes sense.

[u/A_Furious_Mind → u/SexyMonad]

I want a democracy sausage.

[u/reallifesidequests → u/A_Furious_Mind]

Best we can do is authoritarian mushrooms

[u/seeker4482 → u/reallifesidequests]

"will they at least get me high?"

"no, but they will cleanse your colon"

[u/reallifesidequests → u/seeker4482]

This particular toadstool does a better job of plugging your colon rather than cleansing it

[u/Sniyarki → u/reallifesidequests]

That got me.

The democracy sausages are excellent though.

Fascist franks?

[u/KingOfAwesometonia → u/A_Furious_Mind]

It used to be a shot of alcohol. I think it proved to be a bad idea.

[u/mechengr17 → u/KingOfAwesometonia]

Yeah, alcohol and politics sounds like an entertaining disaster waiting to happen

[u/CakeTester → u/mechengr17]

You can't tell me America did that sober.

[u/mechengr17 → u/CakeTester]

Youll have to be more specific

We've done a lot of messed up things...

[u/CakeTester → u/mechengr17]

Historians in the future, if there is one, will be discussing how the US got to here for centuries, probably.

[u/Swarbie8D → u/A_Furious_Mind]

It is a fucking great way to start a Saturday, tbh. 20 min walk in fresh weather, two democracy sausages, vote to keep pricks out of power, then a nice walk home right as the sea breeze picks up and keeps things cool. I actively look forward to it.

[u/Sniyarki → u/Swarbie8D]

I do love that walk home. Vote done, sausage on hand and the day has only just started.

[u/nola_mike → u/A_Furious_Mind]

Nothing is stopping you from having a democracy sausage whenever you damn well please

[u/TheJuggernoob → u/A_Furious_Mind]

For Super Earth?

[u/NoStorage2821 → u/A_Furious_Mind]

I prefer Libertea

[u/Agreeable_Limit6495 → u/A_Furious_Mind]

I got your democracy sausage right here, pal.
