    Peace Heavy mk II got a reaction from inartistic in ok but seriously. There's 219~ million people who can vote in the U.S. About 110 mill   
    A mix of apathy and that the process of being registered to vote is both not easy and not required.
     
    Males are required to sign up for "selective service" (i.e. put your name down to be drafted) within a month of turning 18 and it's a felony to not do so, but having your ability to vote is something you have to work for (but is still a right???).

    To an extent, the choices we make by voting eventually become out of our hands anyway, so there's a feeling of "it won't matter if I do or don't." Another big thing to remember is that the president is largely a figurehead when it comes to making policies and international relations, and Congress is what makes the real changes. Unfortunately, running for Congress isn't glamorous, can't really be made into a media circus, and no one gives a shit about it, so that only further amplifies the feeling of "It won't matter if I do or don't."
     
    Other people feel neither main political party represents their best interests, so not voting is a sign of protest. There are independents who run for president, but as shown in this election and in the 2000 one, they never get far and they tend to just detract votes from one candidate, so said votes are essentially a waste.
     
    Lastly, a lot of jobs (especially service jobs and blue-collar ones) don't close for election day. If you have to work and can't take time off to do so, that means you can't vote until either late at night (which might be hard if you have a family) or not at all. I was fortunate that my office closed in the morning for that very reason, but I know there are a lot of people who are not in the same boat. Some states do allow for "early voting" now, which means you can go vote a few days before. There aren't as many locations to go do this though. Boston, for example, has a few dozen polling locations  that you can be assigned to based on where you live, but for early voting, only one of them is open per day for the entire city. That usually means huge lines and it will again eat up a lot of time you might not have if you're working.

    Peace Heavy mk II got a reaction from gekiai in When you wake up and your tooth hurts but you really don't want to go back to the den   
    As much as you don't want to hear this, you really should go anyway. Delaying dental issues just fucks up your mouth permanently and it only takes longer to correct in the future.
     
    I hate the dentist too, but it's much easier to have a cavity filled than to have extensive root canals or surgery ;(

    If you don't mind paying for a yearly subscription, Wanikani is great for both learning kanji and learning vocab.
