In person, I don't really see a whole lot of people in the US admitting or claiming that they didn't or don't vote.

I do, however, see a lot of life-long Republicans and known Trump voters making claims like "I don't really use social media" and "other than the weather I don't keep up with the news", both of which I know are lies in many cases.

However, giving them benefit of the doubt on that, they're admitting something equally as bad: They aren't educating themselves, they aren't informed on important matters, and facts do not matter to them. They're shirking their responsibilities.

Personally, I've always, always, always operated under the principle that our rights come with responsibilities, so I find it shameful that so many people are so negligent in that respect.

    Political discourse in the USA is mired with douchebags who think that not giving the biggest widest smile possible while licking ketchup off of chuck Schumer's toes means youre a secret Russian republican bot. Doesn't matter you voted.

    These people literally do not care you are disenfranchised. In fact, they relish throwing it in our faces every election.
