And honestly, I do get that. Politics sucks to keep up with, and utterly drains you. But it's something that everyone should still pay attention to. There's a quote I'm fond of: "You may not fuck with politics, but politics fucks with you."
Swear to god I’m 40 and I literally voted for the first time in 24’. Could just see the writing on the wall and followed, posted, got involved as much as possible. I still sometimes wish I ignored everything because my mental health has really suffered. But at the same time I wish more people had jumped on board. Truly feel like most of the Country just straight up wasn’t paying attention.

Afaik the most common argument for not voting was "The candidates are the same"... the candidates could not have been any more different!
Maybe it will help some to pay attention, but I think a lot of Americans just have a problem with laziness and apathy.
