as i said, same you must care about state to pay taxes, even if you disagree, you must care about democratic process. it's not some silly option you can ignore, it's both privilege and duty of every citizen.
If we don't have anyone to vote for, don't make us vote. It's not democratic to force people to vote for people they don't want to vote for.

When you can choose between one bucket of crap and another bucket of slightly differently smelling crap, then it's hard to motivate yourself to vote. Especially when, even if you can motivate yourself to vote, you still don't even know what kind of crap you get, because the election results and the actually following politics have little to do with each other.

So I guess it's more a problem of the two-party american system than democracy itself
I'm no expert on Spanish politics, but I think the political scene in Spain is more turbulent and exciting than in the UK or USA, what with demands for Catalan and Basque independence referenda, fierce opposition to governmental economic policy and, from what I've heard, some kind of what I call a "red shift" (which of course means a shift to the left.)
Or all my news is from biased leftist sources, which is very likely to be true.

We couldn't have shit done because there was no one party that have control of both houses. The other point is, what's the difference between a right-wing coalition and the Republican party when the Republican party is already composed of multiple right-wing factions already? If these factions get their own party and have to form coalition anyways to get anything done...what the fuck is the point?

That would depend on a lot of factors, including voting share etc. If those factions had their own parties, they would still be able to govern alone and depending on voting share, there could be one or two dominant parties and perhaps one or two minor parties, meaning the smaller, more extreme factions would not necessarily be in coalition.
The point, is that not everyone in the Republican party or the Democrat Party is unified and there could be significant changes in government policy if those factions have a greater voice. The whole part about proportional representation is allowing a greater range of voices into government.
