    Direct disenfranchisement is a drop in the bucket compared to the willful lack of participation more than a third of the country participates in. If even half the people who decided to stay home every election day decided to try and participate, the entire contest would be a wash. It wouldn’t even be close.

    But they don’t, because “the system is rigged and there’s no point in trying to fix it”.
