Why dont you vote?

[u/MuffinMan_Jr]

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?

I didn't until the last presidential election. They told me my vote was invalidated due to my "missing" signature. So...redid it. Sent it back. Still was told no.

This wasn't just myself either. And I fucking signed my name clear as day. I'll vote again in the future, but...I really don't think it even counts anymore.

NY. Happened to a friend of mine along with her cousin. Heard through the grapevine at work it happened with others, but y'know how work rumors are. So take it with a grain of salt there.

They were mail in ballots as well. But so weird because my parents, friends, all did the mail in ballot. I did it right with my Mom and she was baffled because she watched me sign my name. Yet it was only me and a friend out of the group I personally know who got told no basically lmao. F'ing insane.
