Only fools vote for Barack Obama. Only fools vote for John McCain.
In a perfect world, one would obviously choose a presidential candidate that was in agreement with that person’s personal stances on the issues that were important to them. But the fact of the matter is that we do not live a world filled with unicorns and leprechauns who make delicious cereal. We live in a world in which making decisions is like putting two wrong pieces of a jug saw puzzle together, and a lot of the time we are forced to make compromises in order to complete the puzzle. In terms of the election, voters have to choose between two candidates of whose viewpoints they may not completely agree with. In order to exercise this democratic right, people must make compromises in their stances on issues, because no candidate will fully fulfill a person’s criteria for a president. Thus, people voluntarily become apathetic towards the issues they deem insignificant (such as issues that a person and their preferred candidate might not necessarily agree on). This apathy leads us to our central point of inquiry. What, if any, is the causal relationship between voting and being a fool?

here is your basic misconception fool--that is, that life necessitates--as you suggest "compromise". i would posit that you believe that b/c you've compromised your own childhood belief in excellence and now believe more wholly in mediocrity. Just b/c every else compromises and, your kindergarden teacher told you that compromise was good--just dictates your central basic and presumptive logic--compromise is not good essential b/c it creates a loose/loose scenario....i'll bet that there are other options to compromise that you're just too lazy to think through...
