I read this article recently and I was just thinking about my news consumption and how much I want to be affected by it.

I feel like it is important because shit is going on in the world however I usually don't change my habits much over it.

I also think that there should be a middle ground somewhere but I can't think of it so if anyone of you have ideas please share them.

There are other elections throughout the year... Midterms at the federal level, and often state and local elections too.

Admittedly how it works in the US, but I'm sure still applies in other countries, maybe not everywhere.

I used to live in a country where they would just bunch them all together: local, country, EU all in one day. Kind of sad, because it gives the impression that your vote only counts once in a few year, as I said in my previous comment. No midterms.
