    With the American presidential election happening recently and the whole world on the edge of their seats waiting for the outcome, I was curious as to how many of you guys and gals care about politics in your country. Do quite a lot of people care and vote? Or do most people not bother and just live on with their lives?

    Like over here in the UK when brexit was occurring a lot of younger people were much more invested in politics than in previous years (media exposure helped) and maybe turnouts will grow in the future?

    I care enough to complain about it , but sadly not enough to actually do something about it.

    I believe that as we get further into the 21st century the younger generations will get more and more involved and invested in the politics of their respective countries.

    As a soldier, we could care less about politics.

    Everyone should care about politics, it is a deciding factor for everyone after all, unless you're rich and powerful enough you're unconcerned.

    Even though they can decide your salary, the budget of your equipment and welfare?

    Politics seems like the better you are at roasting the higher your status.

    I lived in the oven. Guess I'm the President

    My care only reaches as much as I needed to vote for someone but that's about it. It's not like I can do anything much more than that.

    My care comes when I need ideas to make memes. Politics, the haven of meme ideas.

    Politics is one of those things that are great to talk about when you're buzzed, or high. Other than that, unless if there's a chance for a dictator coming into power, not that big a deal.

    I think my time can be invested more efficiently in other things. Worry to the extent you can change. Why bother to scream "OMG the ship is going to sink" when the boat/vehicle is in flames and is, as you obviously said, going down?

    You should care the most, it's the politicians that decide for what reason you would go to war for, and possibly die for.

    I cared more about the state/local level, specifically the state amendments.

    Everyone over 18 (or whichever age is considered adult in where you live) should, not saying you should be all over that shit but it's kind of one of the few privileges of having a fairly open government.
