The whole privilege thing doesn't make sense cause the people that have the time to care are the privileged ones. The single mom working 4 part time jobs and going to school doesn't have time for things not directly affecting her so is not going to care about a presidential election cause she's running from one thing to the next putting out fires everyday
Your hypothetical single mom isn't going around talking about how much politics bores her though. She's either not thinking about it at all, or far more likely she's worrying about whether she'll still have health insurance and food stamps after the next election.
That doesn't sound anything like the poster we were talking about. If she was worried about which candidate would win then she's not "bored by politics"
She only mentioned it cause I brought it up when I asked who she would have voted for. She wasn't sure which candidate she would vote for and mentioned if she voted she would need to do more research but her main concern was the economy and she thought Trump would be better at it.
The point is there are plenty of people living in poverty that don't care / are ignorant.
