I don’t understand why young people on this website keep using the real issue of voter suppression as an excuse to be content with or apathetic toward the idea of non-participation. If your vote didn’t matter, as some suggest, they wouldn’t be suppressing it in the first place, and therefore any complacency is complicit with that suppression. The idea that a faction of our elected government is afraid of the change you can effect should spur you on, not give you pause.

Using the existence of voter suppression as a reason not to vote when you’re capable of voting is a smack in the face to anyone who wants to but can’t.
