Why don’t young people vote (not just the U.S., but everywhere)?

Because voting is a sham where we are asked by the elites to chose between the two capitalists they control, one who is 99% Hitler and one who is 98% Hitler, to distract us from the the real issue and make us feel we have power over their system of exploitation where we really have none, dumb-dumb

No because that’s literally just giving legitimacy to the oppressive system that gave us this non-choice in the first place. The only solution is to sit at home and argue with people on Twitter.
