Rehearsals are not as fun if you are not actively participating in them. Being a stage mom sucks, frankly. All driving and waiting, and no payoff.
On the other hand, elections are a participatory sport that everyone could participate in ... and doesn't. How could early voting turnout in Chicago be so low with such an exciting number of contested races from Mayor on down? It's the first election in the City of Chicago where things could actually change -- and people aren't voting. Do not get it. Stop complaining and start voting, people. This is the real thing and not a rehearsal. You can't just hang around waiting for your entrance: your entrance is now.
