I honestly don't get people who don't vote, but choose to complain about their government. I believe only 114 million Americans voted yesterday. That leaves 208 million who didn't bother. They lead the world in voter apathy. 

Pretty sure that kids can't vote so think your number may be a bit high on the non-vote....unless I have it wrong and the US now has that many eligible voters.....didn't realize their population was that big I guess.

I caught myself a page or so back regarding the fact that kids can't vote, although based on how some adults act nowadays, letting children vote wouldn't be that bad of an idea.

Well, there is a kid as the POTUS so perhaps it would only be fair....

While there are certainly a large number of people who squander the right they’ve been given, writing off every non-voter as lazy and apathetic is a cop out.

I was talking about people that I work with, they do suffer from voter apathy.

They have about 235m eligible voters, about 75 million kids and several million felons.
