The future of democracy looks rather deem. I believe we are in the middle of shifting from democracy to dictatorship. More and more times now days the President and other leaders of our country are not counting on us, the U.S. citizens, to vote and decide on issues. A big reason why is people continually don't vote for laws, presidents, office members, and such. By not voting, we as citizens are sacrificing our rights and laws.
We all enjoy what America is all about. We have freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and many more things a lot of other countries do not have. In those countries, you would get killed or other punishment for expressing your individuality. It is time to for everyone to get out and vote so our country will not turn into a dictatorship.
I posted a video on the percentage of Americans who vote. Generally around 54% of Americans vote in presidential elections, and other elections. This number fluctuates year to year. There are certain demographics of voters who do not vote. 76% of voters who do not vote include those under age 30 and those with no college education.
That goes along with my hypothesis of the less educated you are, the less you will listen to and learn about politics. Rather than not voting at all, everyone should at least vote for someone. You are entitled to your own opinion politically so why not exercise that right?
I would really like to see a change in this. The only way for it to change is if voters who choose not to vote decide to educate themselves about politics and start voting. If this does not start happening more soon, the future of being able to vote might be in jeopardy.
So my question is when will more voters choose to vote? What will it take to have every voter vote in every election?
