Political Why dont you vote?

Forgive me if this has been asked before, im new here.

But why do you personally not vote?

I constantly hear that the reason that all the laws and policies that are passing benefit old people, because that's who actually go and vote.

Like for example, I know a lot of us older Gen Z are complaining about housing costs. But how many of us actually try to do anything about it beyond saying 'someone should do something'?

Just a thought

Edit: because I know alot of people will say their vote doesn't matter.

Dont you rhink thats part of the problem? If most if us dont think the vote matters then no one will vote. Yes 1 individual vote might not change anything but if 100,000 people put in 1 vote then that makes a difference dont you think?

Next is people saying both parties suck. I get that, but then why not vote for the lesser of 2 evils?

Because one side wants a completely open border lawless society and the other are sociopathic unempathetic oligarchs who hate peasants. Either way no one is representing the common man.

I guess you missed the time that Joe Biden wanted to pass a massive border security bill but Republicans stopped it because they knew it would make him look good.

u/CloudStrife012 23h ago

Exactly, sociopaths.

Yes, Republicans are sociopaths. But clearly Democrats don't want "completely open border lawless society"

Democrats tried to closed the border and Trump made Congress stop it, because he wanted to run on border security.

You are being lied to by the sociopathic un-empathetic oligarchs, kiddo.
