    Australia has mandatory voting and the mining industry still owns this country.

    Just because America makes it cheap to buy an election doesn’t mean it could ever be unaffordable.

      I’m not saying that it would solve everything.

      But if you look at the areas of this country with higher turnout, you also see better social programs, ect

      We suck at doing our part because we’re taught to not care.
