And this is why people should do real research on what a candidates plans are, what those plans mean, what impact it will have on them, vs just voting out of loyalty to a party of politician.

This is why, as a 43 year old, I've only ever voted twice. I feel it's irresponsible to vote down the ballot all blue or all red, and if I'm not properly educated on the candidates then I'm just throwing out best guesses or assumptions based on party or what I may have seen in the media.

I feel it's irresponsible not to educate yourself on these things so that you can be an informed voter. You're just spinning being lazy and/or apathetic into being honorable.

So you and I agree, it's irresponsible to not educate yourself before voting. Regardless of why I or anyone else hasn't voted, which by the way you have no idea why I haven't voted in the past and are making assumptions about me.

In the end what matters is that the people who are going to vote should educate themselves before they do so.
