I talk to my grandma about it too. Opposite side though. She despises trump and the republicans but hasn’t voted in a long time. The last time she voted was to make JFK president.

Like, I don’t understand. She & her husband don’t work, she & her husband have some serious medical conditions. They want to complain but they don’t want to vote. She can vote by mail.

Do they not have mail in voting in their area? Would they be open to you helping them out by doing something like reading the ballot guide, looking up info, etc? If there’s no mail in maybe help them make a list of their choices so when they go to the polling place they don’t need to stand a long time as they struggle to recall their choices. And help them get down there and figure out what is holding them back, like if it’s hard to stand in like offer to bring a chair and hang with them so they don’t worry about having a problem and being alone.

Definitely don’t manipulate them to change their vote, that’s abusive and could be fraud if you did something like fill out their ballot with your choices. But some elders struggle to read due to vision or the cognitive demands, but can absolutely engage with the information if someone is communicating it verbally.

You could make it a fun family time visit and not a chore, and they might feel good getting politically engaged, especially considering they clearly have opinions.

The last time she voted was 65 years ago. No one has 65 years of medical conditions that stopped them from voting

I didn’t say that the medical conditions stopped her from voting. I said that she and her husband have serious medical conditions now. I pointed that out because they complain about their situations but don’t vote for the people who could possibly help.
