Are we really this stupid as a country where nobody remembers to vote or register to vote.
Yes. Voter participation is garbage in this country. Routinely between 45-55%.
And it’s not about remembering either. It’s about not giving a shite.
Also, it was the Democratic convention. No crap they are selling you on voting democrat
Agree with them or not, that’s the ENTIRE purpose of the event This post was edited on 8/21/20 at 7:55 am

The founding fathers intended less than that to vote. A vote was supposed to represent a land owning household not a person.

You may be surprised by this but high voter participation is usually considered a sign of big problems.
Low participation countries tend to be pretty stable and people are generally happy with the direction.
High participation countries tend to be parliamentary ones with very fractious politics that are extremely unstable. Italy, for example, habitually has very high participation rates and has the government stability of a Latin American dictatorship.
Bertoluscioni has been PM there multiple times despite being dirty as hell in part because he is one of the few people able to keep coalitions from fracturing and forcing a new vote.
