How do we find out why people don't vote? [View all]

Unless we can get a whole lot more of our people used to voting every election, things wion’t change for the better. Right?

Changing for the worst is pretty much baked in… Look at this jackass- just in the last couple of days the damage he’s doing to our future health with changing abilities for funding for nurses’ education in coming years. Almost everything he does is obviously designed to hurt us. Son of a bitch.

So why do so many of us not feel the deep need to vote every time?

I understand clearly that the whole Republic machine is decades into trying to keep us from voting. This last bullshit with the bomb threats really took it to a new place, but making us stand in line longer the darker and we are the poorer we are, making it harder and making people afraid now…

Are any studies anybody has seen that credibly help us figure out proportionally how to tackle that.

We have got to get people off the sofa every time.
