I've never followed politics my whole life..no idea what a liberal/conservative is.

[OneSent]

People who call themselves "liberal" or "conservative" don't even know what they are.

Ignorance is bliss, my friend.

There's nothing wrong with an uninformed person doing the right thing and not casting an uninformed vote. We'd be better off if the ignorant kept their ideas to themselves.

Then there would only be about 50,000 votes for the President.

[Risale]

Nope you are not a bad person.

All you need to know about politicians is that they are very similar to the organized crime.
If you look at what organized crime does to make their money you will see that politicians do the same the only real difference is that politicians get to do these things because they say that for them it is 100% legal but illegal for actual organized crime.

The snobbery in this thread explains why people don't bother learning politics

Would that really be such a bad thing?

[Tijuana]

Am I terrible person?

Nope. There is a reason we don't force people to vote/participate. If you trust your fellow citizens to get it generally right, most of the time, by all means sit at home on election day. People who think it's their civic duty to vote, but not their civic duty to be informed about current events, politics, and the candidates, are not helping at all.
