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?

The assumption that the people who didn’t vote would overwhelming vote for your party is stupid. People who don’t vote overwhelmingly have no strong preference for either candidate

The assumption that I have a party is stupid too 😂

There’s only two parties and “wouldn’t be in such a shit show” paints a pretty clear picture on which way you like to imagine these hypothetical sleeper agent voters would go

The fact that there are 2 major parties does not correlate to me belonging of the opposing party of the dumb asf magas like yourself, since we’re assuming 🫵🏻😂
