Just over half of interviewees (51%) in a Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University study, who identified as “people of faith,” responded that they are likely to vote in the presidential election between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. The “people of faith” label is given to those who identify with a recognized religion, such as Christianity, Judaism, Mormonism or Islam.

The study found that approximately 104 million people under the “people of faith” umbrella are not expected to vote this election, including 41 million born-again Christians and 32 million who regularly go to church.

    That’s not how it is though, is it. By not voting you are not exempting yourself from political life, you just choose not to matter.

    You are not passing on the snake bite. You are letting others choose the snake for you.

      …you just choose not to matter.

      Yes, this is the best way to live. Pretending to matter is what creates all the bullshit around us.

        Sure, man. Be uninterested in politics if you like, but don’t think for a second that this will make politics uninterested in you.

          I’m a queer disabled immigrant. I know that humans generally hate me. If you wait long enough, though, humans will destroy themselves.

            Our civilization is only a couple millenia old, we existed in a stone age for the overwhelming majority of our existence. We may set ourselves back but I severely doubt we will destroy ourselves.
