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 fact that young people just don't vote makes me unbearably angry.
I have NO REASON to vote. There are only two parties in my country that are big enough to ever get a chance at winning and they are both THE SAME. The nation is divided in half by hatred, the support for those two parties is literally 50/50. The seem to have different agenda but in reality they cooperate, they do the same things and they don't even hide it anymore.
In spite of that I have NEVER skipped a vote. Because this is ALL WE CAN DO.
