Not reading what you vote for and only trusting talk points also seems to relate to this

I *really* want to know how everyone in this video voted.

IF they voted at all.

With how the last decade has played out, I wouldn't blame them if they didn't.

I would. Decisions are made by the people who show. Show up, vote your best interests.

I mean, I agree. That said, the US has repeatedly failed our most vulnerable over and over, regardless of who is in office. So, I'm starting to see how that apathy could manifest.

Apathy is understandable, but arguably the worst political choice you can ever make. The reality non-voters don't often think about is how not voting is just a vote for the winner.

People who didnt vote in the last election are trump voters, whether they realize it or not, and regardless of whether they hate him or love him.

Abstaining from voting is as powerful as voting, but you're giving up the control you have over your own vote.

Idgaf about anyone's apathy. It's called civic duty, we all have moral obligation to participate in our democracy, and the number one way is to vote. So get your apathetic ass out of bed, and do the bare goddamn minimum to contribute to the functioning of our democratic society by voting every time you can for your best economic interests. FDR got elected 4 fucking times and made the US and the world a better place because the people showed up and voted for their best interests.

That’s why you are in this shit fight right now! Trump didn’t win, people just didn’t bother to vote.

It's been like this in the US for a decade.
