Abstentionism

Abstentionism is when you choose not to participate in something or vote. For example, if there is a big decision being made and you decide not to vote, then you are being abstentionist.

It’s like when you are playing a game with your friends and you don’t want to choose which team to be on, so you decide to sit out and not play. You are not actively participating, just like abstentionism means you are not actively participating in a decision or vote.

Sometimes people choose to be abstentionist because they don’t like any of the options or they don’t think their vote will make a difference. Other times people choose to be abstentionist as a form of protest or to show their disapproval of a certain situation.

While everyone has the right to be abstentionist, it is important to remember that it can also have consequences. Not participating may mean that the decision is still made without your input and it may have an impact on your life. So, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons before deciding to be abstentionist.
