      That rage is useless if you don’t show up to the voting booth and vote for candidates that want to change the situation for the better. Voter participation is shit for local, state, and federal elections - most people only care about presidential elections, but those are too late. And still only 60% show up to vote.

        That rage gets people to vote for the populist. Trump. The rest of the populace is tired, I guess. Or satisfied with whatever happens. Idk, the statements are all over the place.

        You are exactly right that participation is on a very low level. Still the question remains, why? I can only guess. Or listen to lemmings that yell “because they are all racist/misogynist/subhuman/…”, but I’d rather not.
