Comment on 34% of the US population doesn't vote. Why do polticalitcians cling to the idea that these voters can't be reached?

I’ll tell you why I didn’t used to vote. I worked too many hours and was emotionally exhausted all of the time. I didn’t have hobbies or interests or energy to do anything else. My personal life was a complete mess. I didn’t have friends or relationships either. I ate poorly and didn’t exercise. All I literally did was work. I suspect a lot of people were in my shoes.

The bullshit requirement for the vote to be on a Tuesday.

Vote should be on a weekend.

  It should be national election week, not election day

  I’m a waiter, that one Saturday could be 25% of my monthly income. It should be a national holiday

  My state allows for mail in voting. My problem was that I was always stuck in survival mode. I couldn’t take care of my basic needs, there was no room for civic duties. It’s like I was in a trance. The problem is having to work too many hours, plus commute.

    Trump: Yeah, we need more proof, come in to vote, bring two live references with an additional reference to vouge for them, all with passports, birth certificates and I need the number of the closest living relative to the doctor that delivered you.
    
    and no lamination!
