Party for your right to not vote

Before asking why they will vote, I asked why most young people won't. They told me that many of the issues they care about -- climate change, civil rights, the war on drugs, immigration, prison reform -- are not discussed by Democrats or Republicans. That there is such a gulf between what candidates say they will do, and what they do, that it's impossible to trust anyone. That apathy is actually supported by the evidence.
