    You are absolutely right.

    I don’t know how we reach the non voters. This has been a problem since I’ve been alive. If everyone voted, the Republican party would cease to exist in two cycles. Their bullshit is deeply unpopular.

    I hate to sound defeatist, it’s just that I’ve been listening to “if only more people voted…,” if only the old generation died… “,” if only young people got involved… " for over 4 decades and nothing has changed.

    I also love OPs post, it’s also 100% true, but again, those that need to hear it won’t.

      It’s an argument for compulsory voting. Or at least giving everyone a day off on polling day, or having it at a weekend. So that won’t happen.
