I suspect many of those who no longer vote got tired of voting for the lesser of two evils and political dynasties.
We have never been busting down the doors to vote… 60% would be high no matter which of the elections back to the founding we are discussing.

I think not voting would be considered a referendum or a vote of no confidence. I don't like either choice and shouldn't have to vote for one or the other just for the sake of voting.
Woe to you, oh earth and sea
For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
Its number is six hundred and sixty-six

Well gee, TC Talks, do you expect those under the age of 18 to vote? :razz

Weren't there roughly 153 million votes cast in the 2020 general election?
It's bad enough that the 18-21 can vote anyways. Most of them cannot take care of themselves, not make important life decisions. They should have never been entrusted with the power of the ballot box.

WHAT? I love the “they” - go ahead and paint entire generations with one broad brush. You sound like the R candidate for NC governor.

I'd support that if you lose your voting privilege at 75. I believe we are in this mess due to old people.

"We" (society) can't even trust them with cigarettes, vaping, alcohol or functioning in a casino. Why should they be trusted with anything more important?

An 18-20 year old can't function in a casino? The also can't smoke, drink or vape correctly? Magically at 21 they see the light and it all works?

All those ages are random, and really have no basis in fact or research. I know 17 year olds I would put in charge of my retirement account, and 30 year olds who I "can't even trust with cigarettes,... alcohol or functioning in a casino." But if an 18 year old can't be trusted to vote...

HOW CAN YOU TRUST THEM WITH A GUN??????????????????

Valid point, but if you can't trust them with a gun, why trust them with the future of the country?? If you're going to put any restrictions on the over-18 folks, then it should start with the right to vote.
