I also think that you overestimate apathy. So many are just working, worried about money and finding affordable rent and healthcare, think that their vote "doesn't matter", and just don't want to even listen to boring and depressing political "stuff" at all. "Bills are due, and I work too hard", they think. If I go vote, that's a couple of hours that I could be drinking beer or playing video games. Not gonna matter how I vote anyway.
10And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
The Bible, Revelation 6:10
