Voter alienation. They figure they can’t change anything anymore so don’t bother voting.

I run into people like this all the time now.

face it, many conservatives stayed home again, because conservatism wasn’t on the ballot.

A direct result of John Boehner and his blithering ineffectiveness.

I agree but I think the indifference is much worse. I am management for a company that employs a little over 50 people. We just got over some extremely difficult times where we, as a company were about to go under. If not for a capital investor stepping in and completely turning us around, my our company would no longer exist.

Over the last two months we have interviewed 15 people in hopes of once again starting to expand our numbers to pre-economic collapse;(approx 135). However we could do nothing in terms of hiring until after the election.. Obamacare is going to impact us greatly. In short, we are now looking at hiring 2 of those individuals due to them being prime candidates for a new Dept. we are starting, and unfortunately looking at laying off 2 members of the work force to offset this. We have also, over the last two months, contemplated 32 hour work weeks and have done some trial runs with volunteers under the guise of a decreased work load.

My point is every step of the way our president, who is very politically outspoken, had not only been straight forward with management, but also the workforce on what this election could mean.

The result??? A quick walk through of the facility and some chit chat yesterday indicated exactly SIX people were planning to vote. Less than 10% of people who KNEW this election would have a guaranteed impact on their jobs. This in the state of PA. by the way.

What can you possibly due in the face of that kind of indifference?
