Or they've been beaten into submission to believe their vote doesn't matter. I guess that's what happens when you live under an oppressive government.
this is true. i lived in a very red state for most my life, and always felt my vote didn't matter. i went through the motions of voting, but didn't feel i would have a real impact. i did it because i felt a sense of civic duty, but I'm a white cis dude so i didn't feel the effects like someone else might so i cant blame them if they don't feel that same sense of duty.
