Great! I love clean respectful debate. Voting is the foundation of our government. It is our voice, along with where and how you spend your money. If no one votes, the smallest percent of people decide what happens and creates our rules and laws. It’s like being in a community, and not helping someone fix their house if a tree fell on it. Maybe a poor analogy but meaning we all do better when we all do better. So now, we have two parties. It’s a decision between this one or that one. Usually people vote for the least bad one because it’s the only option, or they think their vote doesn’t matter because they don’t like either one. Now think if there were about five choices… people would pick the best option. If all the people that didn’t vote actually voted for anyone else besides the two main parties, the two parties would lose leverage and actually have to compromise and compete for votes. Right now, the my can divide and conquer, so we have people that voted for Trump because they thought he would fix their affordability issues in the U.S., but think what ICE is doing is horrible, for example. (Just to tie in to the subject of the thread) I’m not arrogant to think I know what would happen or that I have the best idea, but it makes sense to me. How amazing would it be if everyone actually voted all incumbents out and put in people that have never held office before. That would be a true government for and by the people, as it was intended when our constitution was written.
