Those who are eligible to vote and do not vote strengthen terrorism. If under 50 percent do not vote, terrorists will think most people are indifferent to how they live. Those who do not vote do not support freedom and do not care who runs our government.

Because of low-voter turnout, many of our politicians do not learn the difference between running an economy, capitalism and running our government democracy. Unchecked capitalism benefits the ultra-rich while a democracy, when most people vote, will benefit all.
