If voting doesn't matter, why is one side working so hard to stop people from doing it?
It's all part of a game the psychopaths play to give us a team to root for. I think we desperately need some sort of tribe to belong to, like football teams or countries or political views. While this is going on and only normal people divide themselves, the people with power and money drain them dry economically until they revolt.
By that logic, they should be working to lower the voting age and get more people involved.
Election Day would be a holiday.
I don't know about lowering the voting age but at least one party is pushing awfully hard to get more people involved in voting with like voting by mail and other initiatives like that.
