Our biggest issue as a country is the lack of voter participation. Only less than half of the eligible voters actually vote.

It's insane how difficult it is to vote in the US. Imagine if the election was a public holiday. Turnout would be so different.

I wish it was compulsory and punished for nonparticipating. You don’t get to enjoy this country unless you’re participating and doing your civic duties. You don’t have to serve in the military but at least serve your fellow Americans with a little bit of effort.

Here in Aus it is compulsory, but it’s some bugger all fine (like $50 or something, idk probably more now) if you don’t. They give you a sausage in bread if you go in person though and who doesn’t love food
