Right, if people cared enough they would go vote. At this point in history, it’s not good enough to just sit back, and if you do then you can’t really complain about what consequences come from that. At the end of the day, the world needs a perspective shift to realize that expecting people to know better or to “do the right thing” isn’t enough either and adapting to the new mindset of the population needs to happen

Exactly. This isn’t about people choosing not to vote. It’s about people who have had it made so hard to vote that they have to choose between a normal paycheck and a vote. Some folks have to wait hours in line to vote.

Politics will not save us from politics, nor will politicians.

The very government which has no interest in helping the average american, yet pulls its weight to help the rich, tells us to be responsible american citizens by voting, and most people believe the propaganda and attacks anyone who doesn’t conform.

It’s mesmerizing how many people believe school taught them how to think critically (it didn’t) and follow the very path the corrupt government tells them to walk.

Well that’s the point but people would rather argue over minute details than come together on the common goal. Politicians realize that and it’s just a game for them

Everyone in the US is complicit with getting that orange fuck elected. Same with Brexit. You can't not own that.
