2016 was such a disillusioning experience. Going into the election, I was so proud to be in this country at this moment, so proud to be voting for Hillary Clinton. I had my Clinton sweatshirt on all day. I was on Twitter telling people that if they didn’t vote they were dead to me — like the whole thing. Watching the results come in, it was just disheartening. My faith in the whole system was crushed pretty quickly. That was the first general election I could vote in, too...

In my senior year in high school, I was probably borderline socialist. Though I don’t really think I understood what a socialist was. I was blatantly liberal and didn’t bother to check myself. My friend gave me The Prince, by Machiavelli. I read that, and it provided a certain nuance that I didn’t have. From there, I read more, and I realized that a lot of things I’d thought before were wrong. I got into Hellenism. I read Cicero, Livy.....(blah, blah, blah) ...
... I never felt certain enough to vote.
Tim | Age 27 | Austin, Texas | Has Never Voted
I tried to register for the 2016 election, but it was beyond the deadline by the time I tried to do it. I hate mailing stuff; it gives me anxiety. I don’t remember seeing voter-registration drives, no. I’ve seen a lot more the past two years. I’m sure there must have been stuff. I just don’t remember it...

duckman Timmy calm down, take deep breaths.
More Timmy: I was particularly interested in voting in 2016 because Donald Trump is so stupid. It drove me up a wall — he knew way less about the government than I do.
Timmy can't even mail a letter but thinks he is smarter than Trump?
And old one I re-heard today. My dad voted Republican all his life...now that he’s dead, he votes straight Democrat.
This is hilarious but scary at the same time.
”I hate mailing stuff; it gives me anxiety.”
Genius! That’s a great reason for doing away with the USPS.
Save $$$$$$$$$$, stop triggering SJWs, no more going postal, sustained calmness...
Good for a laugh, although I am concerned about what looks to be a sharp rise in the suicide rate amongst millennials who just can’t cope.
At least that kid claims to have ADHD. This was more bizarre to me:

“When I was at the post office to register, this poor girl, clearly also a college student like me, didn’t know what “postmarked” meant and had no idea how to send an important document by mail. Most people my age have zero need to go to the post office and may have never stepped into one before. Honestly, if someone had the forms printed for me and was willing to deal with the post office, I’d be much more inclined to vote.”
What a pathetic generation.
After reading this I feel like I’m in a blizzard (lots of snow(flakes).
How would these people survive if the electricity shut off for a whole day?
The ignorance is strong in these folks.

Bet she has crappy credit.
Hahahaha there was something simple and sterile about that, and it hit me square in the funnybone!
We should have schools where these children can go and learn things. Shame they can’t even figure out how to mail something.
A future camp guard said this at the comment section:
“less toxic individuality, and more of a focus on taking care of each other. This will not happen unless it is forced”
If this is the future of America, we're in deep muck.
Like, Like, Like, Like, Like it is soooo much work to you know like, like think.
People who don’t vote may as well vote dimocrat.
Probably the two dumbest reasons Ive personally heard were in 96. "I cant vote for Dole because every time I hear his name I think of pineapples," and the equally well thought out, "I cant vote for him (a guy with a bum hand) because I dont want people to call my president "Flipper"."
“By voting, you are participating in a sexist, racist, imperialist system and thereby legitimizing it!”
