on eligible people not voting—
Henry Miller (proto-hippie and global citizen as he was) wrote: They tell us in America we have freedom to choose in politics. What blasphemy! They allow us to choose from A or B and that’s it.
People see Jeb Bush,Lindsay Graham or McCain on the GOP ballot side and Hillary,Pelosi,BLM candidates and Planned Parentood candidates on the Dem side. They stay home. What if we voted for Trump to break the spending habit of the government? Sorry to tell you how that budget worked out. Still voted for Trump in the primary and election and love him anyway—don’t misunderstand me.
Nobody really seems to care that millions and millions in campaign money is spent to convince the swayable to vote one way or the other, and we still haven’t broken 65% eligible voter turnout in 108 years. That is pretty amazing to me.
Supposedly the dumbest 10% of voters, the ones that vote one way and then another and can’t usually give a reason that follows any sort of logical explanation, are the ones that decide elections. Supposedly all campaign money is meant to sway the swing voters, at least after the primary process.
Something else amazing: Supposedly the dumbest 10% of eligible voters who manage to vote decide elections, whether or not a pub or dem wins. It could be a good result, or a bad one, but in any case the idiots decided.
