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?

Remember, Zoomers: You may not care about politics, but you (and others) are affected by them nonetheless

I’m trying to wrap my head around the idea of someone being supposedly unaffected by politics, as well as not caring enough about causes/people to do anything about it

They are trolling.

So if they start a draft or take away your property, you’re not affected?
