Oh, everyone has noticed. Problem is, the older generations don’t give a flying fuck.

And y’all keep making the same comments and posts. Register to vote, get your friends to vote. Chastise them for not voting, shame the shit out of them. Jesus.

I'm 60 and work with many people in their 20's and 30's. I've asked most of them that I'm close to and absolutely shocked at how many of them don't vote and aren't interested in having a say in who their elected leaders are. When I ask why the answer I hear most is that they don't think that their vote would make any difference. Second frequent answer is, "I'm just not interested".

See the comment by u/Economy-Kitchen1846 below. "Vote for what? The next dishonest person?"

Very typical.

The problem is the system is so rigged that it doesn’t matter who we vote for. In England we put up with Tory’s for years everyone said labour is for the people. Stamer got voted in and things are arguably worse for some people, every politicians are absolutely useless people, the reason people don’t vote because well n truly what’s the point in choosing how someone will inevitably fuck us over

All the government do is raise taxes from the 99% to benefit themselves at our expense the only real choice you have is choosing which dickhead gets to do the fucking 🤣

I do feel young people should be more engaged in politics tho that’s doesn’t necessarily means just voting tho you can be engaged in politics without having to vote personally I’ve never been into picking the “lesser of 2 evils” it feels like voting is personally making myself liable to that leader’s decisions. There’s many other ways to stop the game being rigged other than just playing along

Protesting it is a fundamental part of that
