Voter apathy is huge among all age groups, unfortunately. My age
   range too. People older than me. The thing for me is: I don't
   care WHO votes for WHO(m)? [is it whom? idk]. But participating
   in the process matters. Give ppl a right to complain if they
   want. "Well, I didn't vote that person in! I voted for the OTHER
   GUY." [not voting at all, doesn't really give a right to
   complain] I usually vote contrary. Always kinda do. I'm
   independent. I won't even convert to Democrat just to vote for
   Sanders in the primary, even though he fits "my profile". I
   don't like rallying: the emotional ups and down and stuff. BUT
   if he makes it to the primaries, there's a damn good chance I'll
   vote for him. But even if he doesn't, I'll STILL vote. It's the
   process. It's not _that bad_ of a country to live in, even for
   all the crap on the news, and voting once every four years isn't
   that hard to do. You get a nifty sticker, a right to complain if
   things go wrong, you see the numbers change ("that 9? it
   would've been an 8 - but I voted! F' YOU NON VOTER LAZY TYPES].
   I also get a change to put a little blip in the system. Kinda
   anarchist of me in a way. I usually vote whoever the
   "independent person" is. But even then, not always. I don't even
   know WHO I'm gonna vote for 'til I get there - and I don't even
   ALWAYS vote. But I usually do. I might even do a write in for
   "deeznuts" - 15 yr old kid from Iowa, but I'm gonna wait and see
   who my choices are around June/July or so. Hope Sanders gets
   there. People that are fighting for him to get in the primaries?
   I hope they keep it up. As fo rme, I'll be there November
   voting, no matter whose up. I hate politics, but I like being a
   citizen. Weird, but true.
