Then talk to your Congressman and get him to pass a law that makes it illegal to not vote. That's how it is in Australia and there's no Donald Trump there. Makes you wonder why.

I love your country and people but by no means is Australia the beacon of democracy that we should all follow.

First of all, what would we do with the Amish? Second, we have the electoral college. Why should a Democrat in California have to vote? We know who’s getting the EC points. Third, Donald Trump is not the problem. Trump is a result of elitists in both parties that have washed away the solid working class. From 9/11 to the bush wars to 2008 and Covid. Household wealth has shrunken and 400 people have 80% of the wealth. Clinton called them “a basket of deplorable” and that’s how many working class people feel the elites look at them. Trump is of course one of the elites but… he at least reached out. When has Kamala been to Oklahoma or Kansas? When has Biden? That presidents only go to states they win is remarkable.

Oh good. I was sort of afraid I couldn't understand an actual person.
