Folk tale?
If you live in your head long enough, you lose touch with the folks. You can't remember if there is a shared belief system or common mythology in your fundament. I guess the same is true if you live on the internet. How about something like this.
On Election Day, all of the town's adults went out to vote every election year. They were all registered voters, informed on the issues, had powers of discernment, and they voted for the most decent human being on the ballot. They didn't sling mud, they didn't sabotage the process or make it harder for others to vote. They didn't view voting as some act of heroism. They believed voting was a hard won right for many, and a privilege for theselves because they were never clubbed while having to fight for that right. None of them would ever consider missing the opportunity to use their voice in an election.
