(38,187 posts)The US should have mandatory voting classes to teach uninformed people about our system. If they understood both the official version of our system and how things really work in comparison, they would be more apt to vote. If that happened, we could have an actual left leaning liberal win elections at the national level and maybe some (more) state level elections too, maybe even some local elections, at the very least.
Most of the people who do not understand the system and do not vote are liberals, at least from what I have seen. I think learning about our system and learning the purpose of elections should be mandatory. You'd be surprised how many people are completely ignorant of the system. There are far too many uninformed and far too many apathetic people who do not really understand why not voting is causing the country to continue to...as politely as I can clean it up...go to hell in a hand basket.
