It's hard to vote when you have a several week window, can do it from your house, and 4 years to prepare? I just don't see it.
To add: about 9 million people work more than one job in the us.
Assuming none of the people who work multiple jobs, whats with the other 80 million people?
This isn't some small marginalized population of people, it's almost 40 percent of the eligible voting population.
Y'all can downvote all you want, but don't act like people have no agency in their lives and don't act like their decisions aren't theirs.
13 million, source: https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2019/06/about-thirteen-million-united-states-workers-have-more-than-one-job.html
To your point though, that still doesn't add up to the nearly 89 million people who didn't vote, source: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/how-many-people-didn-t-vote-in-the-2024-election/ar-AA1uaH9n - I retract my statement as it's just a fraction of the overall picture. I'm curious what other driving factors exist. I'm not going to call it lazyness without evidence though. I need concrete studies/evidence, not just conjecture.
