  1. Laziness / lack of any urgency that it will matter or make a difference to them personally
  2. They’re a disinformation campaign, and taking time telling you about refusing to vote is their attempt to influence the election

I suspect that almost everyone will fall into one of those two categories

I think there's a third category, though may be a small offset of the first. Those who would like to, but don't have the day off and can't afford it.

They're gonna have trouble affording smuggled oranges and tinned meat, too, when they're in the camps with bread and water as the standard food.

I get what you're saying and I'm not tryin to sit in judgement. But also, this one is fuckin important.
