Reminds me of a time I was arguing with a friend in a pub. He didn't vote and thought it was pointless etc. I was saying:

Me: "Have you been to recently?"

Him: "Yeah"

Me: "Have you noticed a the amount of homeless people?"

Him: "Yeah, it's getting really bad now isn't it"

Me: ...

Him: "What's that got to do with the government?"

At this point, a random woman leaned in to comment.

"You know, I agree with your friend. HE shouldn't vote."

I work for my county, I have at least one coworker who is proud that she's never voted and doesn't care about politics

We work for the government, dumbass! That's basically saying "no, I don't want my opinion to be heard on who my boss is" when the options are often a person who wants to give us raises, better benefits, etc. and a person who wants to cut all of that.

It's probably for the best though, because when she does express a political opinion it's over the stupidest fucking shit. She supported Trump due to some comments he made about funding IVF treatments, while she's a polyamorous, wiccan divorcee with several health issues who doesn't have and as far as I'm aware doesn't want children. Yes, the republican party with their "traditional christian family values" schtick, who are constantly trying to gut all things related to medical care are totally the party that is going to look out for people like you, and totally worth supporting because you have some vague notions about wanting people to be able to have babies.
