I heard it was less than half, or maybe that was from the last election. Its hard to convince people to vote because they dislike either person, and i can't blame them for thinking like that because i agree with it lol

I've voted since I turned 18, but since i live in a "red state", the electoral votes always go for the republicans. Mitch McConnell has been elected to the Senate by Kentuckians for 22 years. O_O

I completely agree. If you don't vote, what right do you have to complain about whoever gets into office. You didn't exersize your rights to make your voice heard then, so why do it later when it doesn't really mean anything. You have to make it count.

Good for you. This is a priviledge the founding fathers thought all Americans would hold in great honor.

The reason we never get who we want in office is because Americans do not exersize their rights and responsibilities to this government process.

I am not just talking about voting which all eligible Americans should want to do but also the rest of the responsibility like writing their representatives and stuff like that.
