Which is better for America?

[toobfreak]

I would change your question and answer that an irresponsible person who votes is worse for America than a responsible person who doesn't vote.

Absolutely. An irresponsible person who votes is a 2X loss for America--- first they are irresponsible, then to add to that, they use their irresponsible views to effect policy in the whole country!

A responsible person who doesn't vote is not ideal but far better. They may not vote, but at least they are responsible. Better to have a country full of responsible people than irresponsible ones.
