    Exactly. We’ve never actually used our voting privileges. Not really.

    Whenever I hear the argument that voting doesn’t do anything, I cringe.

    When people show up (not just for presidential elections), shit gets done.

    But Muricans are lazy and expect others to do the work for them

      Australia has mandatory voting and the mining industry still owns this country.

      Just because America makes it cheap to buy an election doesn’t mean it could ever be unaffordable.

        I’m not saying that it would solve everything.

        But if you look at the areas of this country with higher turnout, you also see better social programs, ect

        We suck at doing our part because we’re taught to not care.
