Yes, rage. So much rage they either don't show up to vote or vote against universal healthcare candidates. Can you feel the rage?

I'm not assuming they are rational. In fact the evidence is quite clear that they aren't. Voting in the first place, and voting for pro universal healthcare candidates would make them more rational.

That rage is useless if you don't show up to the voting booth and vote for candidates that want to change the situation for the better. Voter participation is shit for local, state, and federal elections - most people only care about presidential elections, but those are too late. And still only 60% show up to vote.

You are exactly right that participation is on a very low level. Still the question remains, why? I can only guess. Or listen to lemmings that yell "because they are all racist/misogynist/subhuman/...", but I'd rather not.
