young folks dont care and dont know who their elected officials are. WHO CARES?!
in 2016, there was the lowest turnout in 70 years.
in the most important democracy in the history of the world, this is an outrage!
Excuse me sir/mam/ewe, but once again, you are showing your lack of intelligence. The United States is a Representative Republic, not a democracy. How many times do you have to be told the TRUTH, before you get it into that peabrain…
By the way, 2016 was much higher turn out than for 2012.
How many Americans actually, you know, vote?
According to the
United States Election Project, an average of 59.7 percent of eligible voters cast their ballots. (The turnout number is lower when you just look at voting-age Americans, but not all Americans over 18 can vote, for various reasons.) Compare that to President Barack Obama’s re-election in 2012, when 58.6 percent of eligible voters cast ballots—or 2000’s presidential election, which saw just 54.2 percent turn out to the polls—and the 2016 results aren’t too shabby.
I love how this guy/girl/thing can say some bullshit and not post anything to back up his/her/its claim...
