I got a lot of family that are the same way and I finally realized why, it don't touch their daily lives. Especially the younger ones, their focus is on immediate finances and living well, they have no concept of tomorrow or whats to come only the right now.

My interest in politics is a more recent thing. I voted for Presidents, but nothing else and voting (even in Presidential elections) wasn't a priority at all.

And when I was running around the Bay in my younger years, voting/politics was never a topic of conversation in my group of friends. No one cared because 'voting doesn't matter', 'it won't change anything', 'politicians are all the same'...and that was the general tone of anyone that spoke about voting/politics.

I see all too well now how vital voting is to the country's success and health and I'm drilling that into my kids heads. My oldest will vote in the next election and I've got another one getting close. And I've explained to them that generally speaking, as long as they vote how they believe, that's all I ask of them. However, for the time being, it's all blue everything, no questions asked...

In the Trial of the Century, the Impeachment hearing of the President of the US, President Robert 'Hunter' Biden (), here we are:

That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did...
You deserved it.

Joe Manchin is a clown

Again, some of these folks are only trying to wait this out long enough to choose whichever is the 'right' side to be on when it all falls down.

Fu*k that...

I was out to dinner with my family Sunday and little cousin, she might be 21-22, was telling me how she doesnt vote. I went into this long tirade about how and why she should. I swear at the end of it, she said, I dont care what you say, I believe what I believe. I wanted to smack that little bytch. I just looked at her momma in disgust. These young folks dont understand how important this election will be to them in the long run. Its going to be a challenge getting all eligible voters to actual exercise their rights. I think its due to the trash ass educational system in this country.

Her momma makes over 120K. She's in college with her own apt off campus. She's just ignorant. Like she called me asking why did I think Kodak Black was wrong for saying he'd date Lauren London. When I tried to explain to her that it wasnt that he said, it was that it was recorded, posted on social media and he doubled down on it after people told him it was disrespectful. She went into this whole thing about how Lauren is going to eventually date and he was just shooting his shot. Whole conversation with her gave me a headache. I have another cousin who is a 23, equally ignorant. That generation takes nothing serious and its going to hurt them in the long run. I have to literally drive my nephew to the voting booth and tell him who to vote for, he's 25. They just dont care about that stuff.

Well, I'm in the age range of your cousin and nephew. I'm 20 and I'm turning 21 in July.

A lot of people my age don't vote but this isn't exclusive to my generation. Young people, in general, don't vote and this has been a thing forever. My stepbrother is 29 (turning 30 in July) and he doesn't vote. He just doesn't care about voting. My step cousin is only a year older than me and he doesn't vote because "both sides are corrupt" and "America is racist towards us (Black people), so why should I vote?"

I can't do anything about it. I just know that I'm ALWAYS going to vote.

might be semi ageist but this is why I'm glad to have parents who were slightly older, they payed attention to politics and especially my mother always emphasized how important it was to vote far too many people don't start paying attention to politics until they hit middle age which is unfortunate.

“We can rearrange the dominoes on the board. The outcome isn’t changing,” said Scott Jennings, who worked under President George W. Bush and is close to the Trump White House.

this shows just how fukking ridiculous the people defending trump are...they dont even know what game they are playing...talking about arranging dominoes on a board...that is like somebody talking about playing basketball on a field and using sticks(rip)...

I would ask them "...if I take you with me to the voting booth, will you vote?" Help them register (if they aren't) and follow through. I believe the only way we're getting Trump out is at the booths, we need everyone on board and leading some folks to the well may be our last chance.

I was kinda the opposite where I cared more about local politics and didnt really have a full understanding on a federal level. I always voted though, even though I didnt understand everything. As soon as I was of age, I started voting. The deeper understanding of how things are on a federal level is very new to me. Like when Obama became president new.

Sorry for going off topic but that voting in November thing just triggered my memory of that conversation with her and how most younger people arent voting. They could be such game changers.

It was mostly my grandmother/older aunts and uncles for me, and also when I started to be a history nerd. Really drilled in the previous generation's sacrifices, and how quickly it can be taken away.

I think the constant focus on Washington, and subsequent focus and incentives towards the consistent voting base(s) doesn't help, and creates a snowball effect (politicians fixate on active voters interests, non-voters increased apathy, over and over again).

But also a lot of folks are just lazy (and the GOP banks on that) and we can see this when there a possible war, recession, major disaster, etc happens people have the energy go then.

My step brother lives in Florida (Orlando) and I live in New York, so I can't help him there. However, my step father does call him from time to time and encourages him to vote. He didn't vote in 2016 (or 2018), which is obviously frustrating considering that he lives in fukking Florida. It does seem like he's coming around slowly to the idea of voting though.

My step cousin is probably not going to follow me to vote lol.
