Exactly! I worked with a number of people this summer who would chance into talking issues or politics with me, and they either considered themselves Republicans, or were a little more right-leaning than I am, but they'd always conclude with, "but you don't have to worry, I'm not voting/not registered." And I would always react with, "UH-BWAH?!" One girl told me she didn't feel educated enough about the issues/candidates so she didn't bother registering and I asked her why she didn't go educate herself and she said it just doesn't affect her that much. It baffles me that people think that way. Especially the part about it being better for me as a Democrat that they don't vote, but that's not how the process works at all! :( :( :(
