Poverty and fear have a big effect on personal agency. Then add systemic and structural racism and classism, where it takes 60 minutes to take the bus 5 miles to the grocery store. Where there are fewer voting places, longer lines, working two jobs, you start to see the weight of giving in and focusing on immediate needs.

The fact is that way fewer people voted in 2024 than in 2020. Simple facts show that people are disenfranchised by the system. We are getting steamrolled by the oligarchy.
