You’re assuming people who don’t care enough to vote are still informed enough to vote, and that’s not true. I know people who oscillate between voting republican and not voting mostly just because they believe what the republican politicians say. Recently, I gave one a series of examples explaining how implementing the “protecting the children” policies actually harmed children, women, or people in general – and they were horrified. It was the first time I ever convinced anyone of anything politically, and I ended up convincing them they weren’t informed enough to vote.
Maybe I would agree with obligatory voting if we had both ranked voting and a none-of-the-above / random-citizen-lottery option, but choosing between politicians who actively mislead people is a dangerous activity.
Or, put a more concise way, that people can’t afford to miss a day if work in order to vote, and increasingly don’t see any point because their lives get worse no matter who we elect.
Lol the clean water act would like to say hello. Or maybe you prefer the new higher limits every toxic industrial byproduct in your food, air, and water.
Lol the legal recognition of gay marriage has a word to say
Hahahaha says trans rights
ROFL says the right to divorce for any reason including marital rape
None of that matters if you can’t afford to eat, and Democrats failed to express any kind of care whatsoever about food staples becoming cost-prohibitive, so you have tens of millions (if not hundreds) being reminded every time they open their refrigerator that Dems don’t care if they starve. They even sent Barack Obama to call young black men chauvinists for the crime of wanting an affordable cost of living.
But I’m glad that you apparently are someone who can afford it.
As an American that’s never not voted, I don’t understand these fucking assholes.
Genuinely… Fuck them. We’re fucked because of the people that don’t vote, not because of the minority of insane MAGA’s.
The winner of our last presidential election was actually “didn’t vote”.

People always pretend that the “wrong side” always votes.

“their lives get worse matter who…”
