    Well 114 million people who could have voted this year didn’t. It’s a combination of apathy and laziness. We could be like Australia and mandate the vote.

      It would be such a game changer for the US, there are still people who ‘donkey vote’ which is either leaving a ballot empty or drawing dicks on it, but it means a far more balanced political spectrum.

      Republicans won’t allow it. They win when people don’t vote, it’s a fact. They now dominate the legislative, so you can forget about it.

      The real solution is to raise the interest of people in politics. Look at the south.
