Why are people who don't vote so vilified?

[Anonymous]

I don't care about politics and my precious time off won't be wasted voting stuck-up politicians that just blabber empty words

Because they can't even be bothered to stop lunatics from taking over the government, sending the message that it's okay to abuse your authority. Why SHOULDN'T they be villified?

Because when someone tells me that someone is bad, it makes me want to vote that person just to spite them

Well, that's a stupid reason to vote for someone, but at least you're saying that THEORETICALLY, your opinion needs to be considered. Concentration of power is the root of all evil, and complacency is the soil it grows in.

Because leftists have you are either with us or an enemy mindset. So they vilify anyone not leftist enough.
