It's because you are LAZY. That's it. That's the reason.
"Nooooo yuo don't get it... voting has a tiny effect...... why even bother......"
right! and voting also requires a tiny effort!
"Nooooo...... I live in a (red/blue) state....... my vote doesn't matter.... foregone conclusion...."
WRONG. The only thing that makes a red/blue state a red/blue state is the people that vote in the elections. That means YOU (or, more accurately, NOT YOU). During the 2020 election, two deep red states (Arizona and Georgia) switched from Red to Blue. Also, in our lifetimes, many traditionally red states have begun drifting blue in matters of state politics. Kansas, a deep red state, for instance, has a Democrat governor and congresspeople.
"they'll just change the vote........... or cheat....... anything to keep the powers that be in office............ forever........"
source: trust me bro
Trump had every opportunity to prove that there was voter fraud. I'll admit, folks, for a bit I thought there was some sus shit going on! I kept hearing about bags of votes being found on the internet! but for months and months NOTHING. Nada. Zilch. This was after millions of dollars requesting recounts in swing states, and Trump swinging his presidential peepee as hard as he could (prolly harder than he should've )
folks, there isn't some big conspiracy. if it was real, Trump woulda found it. but he didn't. He keeps claiming he did, but fellas, he didn't, lol.
bro they stole the election. trust me bro.
okay, how and where's the proof
dude... they just did, okay???
"heh... democracy doesn't even work..."
You are an actual r-slur if you think this. Not like the cool and funny r-slurs that everybody gets along with, I am talking boomerpilled grannymaxxers who fall for sexy Indian dudes telling them their computer is full of viruses.
ok, ok, ill take you seriously for a second. what system would work better than democracy? hmmmb... i know.... authoritarianism. if we were just controlled by badass dictators, everything would be better... oh wait oh shit oh frick, you're telling me that the unelected dictator is MORE CORRUPT than an elected official??? well darnnnn we better vote him out - oh wait you can't
Conclusion: you are lazy and probably fat
I know I am going to get people in the comments being like "didn't read; still not voting " yeah I know bub, did you think I wrote this thinking I would actually change your mind? I just wrote this for @Impassionata's little essay contest. You guys are like a fat positivity forum and I'm like the guy that is trying, futily, to convince you to hit the gym instead of bitching about how you're treated.
I am hereby proposing the "Touch Ballot" award, requiring a person to submit proof that they voted in an election. Yes this would exclude non-US people but I don't care seethe harder democracy haters

In high school, the english class teacher gave us an assignment to make a poster supporting our preferred candidate to be hung up on the walls around the school.... like everything else in that bullshit class, the assignment had nothing to do with the english language, and it seemed inappropriate and distasteful to force a class of literal children who got all their opinions from the daily show to participate in the political system. So i made a "dont vote" poster. It was one of the few assignments i actually completed in that class, but it didn't make it up on the wall... so i made a promise to myself that i would never vote in any kind of election ever
Also i just don't like the whole democracy thing. At least in north korea they get big beautiful statues of dear leader. Here we get shitty little signs poking out of every available median strip and littering everyones front lawns. I don't understand what people think they are accomplishing with those signs. No one will ever see a "vote yes on ____" sign and go "shit, i was gonna vote no but i guess ill vote yes now". They are just an eyesore. Its like everything surrounding the democratic process. People think they have some kind of say in how things turn out and get really annoying about it. Worse, they think other people have a say too, so some dude in a MAGA hat is an existential threat to your way of life, instead of just some idiot with a hat
Also im fat and lazy and i don't feel like it

I too fricking hate lawn signs, unironically I want to get an environmental lobby movement against them because they are single use disposables in the end
