I do know that there are a lot of Americans who do not take their voting rights seriously. Voting is a right and a right that many people across the world do not have. Ask immigrants why they wanted to come to America and the freedom to vote will often be one of the freedoms they mention. In other countries people stand in line for hours, put up with harrassment and even endanger their lives and the lives of their families just to vote. But, here far too few people bother to go to the polls.
All politicians are the same.
It's only a primary. Indeed, many times there is truth to those statements but, as long as we stay at home and don't go to the polls, things will not improve. Voting for the lesser of two evils can make a difference when the issues effect our every day lives. Voting for a good candidate even if they cannot win helps to show all politicians that we are paying attention and the issues do matter. And more importantly showing support for a candidate encourages them to run again.
