The number of eligible voters who choose not to vote have outnumbered any single political party for 100+ years even in presidential elections. The folks that care about politics enough to vote about it usually vastly overestimate the number of people who also care as much as they do.

That is a sad state of affairs.
Before we were old enough to go to school our elders taught us that it was a Right, a Privilege and a Duty to make an informed vote.
We were taught that the Right, Privilege and Duty had been bought for us with blood.

Because of the way we were raised the people of the community I grew up in would find it easier to choose not to eat than not to vote.
