      There were about 258mil adult citizens in the USA in 2021( the last year I easily found statistics for), about 248mil of them are ‘eligible’ to vote. In the 2024 election, about 155mil ballots were cast.

      Sure sure… 155mil isn’t a small number, but it’s nowhere near everyone. 60% of the adult population is a far far cry from universal participation.

      Power to the people, just wish we’d wield it.
