In person, I don't really see a whole lot of people in the US admitting or claiming that they didn't or don't vote.
I do, however, see a lot of life-long Republicans and known Trump voters making claims like "I don't really use social media" and "other than the weather I don't keep up with the news", both of which I know are lies in many cases.
However, giving them benefit of the doubt on that, they're admitting something equally as bad: They aren't educating themselves, they aren't informed on important matters, and facts do not matter to them. They're shirking their responsibilities.
Personally, I've always, always, always operated under the principle that our rights come with responsibilities, so I find it shameful that so many people are so negligent in that respect.
This is why I don't try to flake on jury duty. Yeah it sucks. I have 3 kids. Money is tight but god damn its so important to show up to shit like that.
The one I hear the most is, "I'm an independent voter." The fools do not want to admit they believe in a pedophile, rapist and felon.
