    I think they do care, they’ve just been taught that their vote doesn’t matter. This seems to be especially true of non-white people i talk to. How can we encourage people to engage? A meme or a list of concerns is not going to change their mindset when they’ve been manipulated into generations of apathetic resistance.

        The people I’ve spoken with who don’t vote are mostly black or brown and aren’t withholding votes because of some issue. They’ve never voted. I invited a friend to go primary vote with me and she said, “no thanks, but you have fun with that.”
