Why do we always assume the ones who don't vote aren't going to vote to run us off the cliff?
My frustration with the get out and vote push is that there is always this weird assumption that the ones who aren't voting are some how going to magically push things into the "right" direction. What if we are all better off if they don't vote?
Young people are less likely to vote than old people, and old people are more likely to be conservative. But even if that wasn't the case, more people voting is always better for a society.
