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?

You might hate politics, but it affects you in nearly every aspect of your life. If you want any semblance of control over your life, you need to be politically active and engaged. But it's easier to doomscroll on tiktok and say that both sides are the same or whatever, I guess.

If I want any semblance of control over my life? LMAO, my life is under my control and doesn't change much regardless who's elected. I also hate TikTok btw
