If politicians know turnout is low they won't feel obligated to pass laws in your interest. It's part of why young people have a tendency to get fucked by politicians who bend over backwards for the boomer vote. But an ignorant vote is just as likely to support the person who fucks over people anyway, maybe even moreso. IMO shallow votes can't fight bad policy because they aren't aware of policy. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori https://imgur.com/TheGsZ9 <cite>joe40001 posted [p:946656738] in I don't ag...
