Abbas Abdi: Voting box is not a charity box to spend it as we wish

Abbas Abdi said that the ballot box is not a charity box where we can spend the money in it as we wish.

Abbas Abdi wrote that the ballot box is not a charity box where we can put money in it and the owner of the box can spend it however they want. Our only duty is to unconditionally deposit this money into the account of the box’s owner.

We define the meaning of electoral participation ourselves, and its importance is higher than just voting for a desired candidate. However, the lack of participation can also be equally important, and no one can fault the abstainers. It’s natural that someone who doesn’t see bringing new capital to a company as beneficial would not do that.

In the years 1398, 1400, 1402, and even in this recent first stage of the elections, less than half of the people voted. So, one might say that we no longer have legitimacy. Why don’t they say that? Because this statement has other aspects as well. By participating in elections, one can showcase and highlight other aspects. Therefore, I still believe that the main issue is participation, as the life and political fate mainly depend on this indicator, not just the final result.
