The Pop Diner: One person, one vote, one difference

  • John Bachman · 3 years ago

    Do you suppose that there would be a bigger turnout among young people if they learned the real difference between democracy and other systems?


    A comparison of the US system vs say Cuba? Real differences, people thrown in prison for speaking out, demanding freedom, etc. Not the socialistic pap that is handed out today.


    If youngsters think that there is no difference then who blames them for not participating?


    There is a lot of bad stuff in our world. Our kids need to know that.

    I think younger people don't see the benefits of voting - one person winning over another really doesn't make a difference to them.


    They need to be educated on the "what's in it for me" part of the election - how will voting for someone (or not voting for someone) impact them?


    Education is key.
