What they get is the right of participation in their own government. But they think they should get special executive orders or something for their pet projects. “Why should I vote, what have they done for me?” “They promised stuff and it doesn’t happen”. I think they have never learned that we are all in this mess together. It costs no money to vote, people. You shouldn’t expect to get something for yourself because you vote

you now get to live in a dictatorship. And your right to vote will be gone. So you can DO NOTHING all 365 days of the year without having to bother to get your ass over to your local precincts.
