Do you really want the thug in power to know you didn't vote for him?
That's exactly my point, it's a problem because there is a "thug in power". That's the problem, not open voting.
Even the nicest people become thugs when in power. Power corrupts.
Most, perhaps yes! But not always. You seem to often have so binary thoughts xD
Do you work with programming or something?
I don't know, in my experience most governments aren't run by "thugs" but YMMV.
