Why criticize the government while refusing to register to vote?

Some people have grown so cynical that they believe their vote doesn’t matter because forces beyond their control have infiltrated and now own the government making voting irrelevant. And they aren’t wrong.

The Republican and Democratic parties are both owned by billionaires and corporations. It doesn’t matter who you vote for.

Look at the congressional votes on every piece of legislation over the last 40 years. All of the YES votes benefitted the 1%. All of the NO votes shot down anything that would have benefitted Joe & Jane average.

Because its just a choice between bad behaviors. Which choice will screw up your life less?

Because they don’t believe in voting for the lesser of two evils, that’s why.

So why wouldn't they vote in the primary when there's 25 Democrats to choose from? They couldn't possibly all be evil, could they?

I've never even heard of a single Democrat who voted for Joe Biden in the primary. But had they voted for Tulsi Gabbard in the primary, even Republicans would have been for her. Imagine the harmony we would have on both sides.

People have become apathetic and believe that no matter who you vote for the result is the same.

Basically its like a choice between coca-cola or Pepsi. It doesn't matter as they are both cola owned by the same people.

Because voting doesn't change anything. It's a part of the illusion.

Democrats say that voter ID makes it impossible for black people to vote. But really it just makes it so they aren't part of the illusion that doesn't matter, right?

because that is their choice and their right

Maybe all of the politicians suck?
