Is that level of Call of Duty keeping you? Voters in Iraq were playing real-life CoD in 2005, and they managed to voice their opinion in the midst of insurgency.”

Your sarcasm isn’t helping and it’s not funny. Your answer lies within the second half of your statement though. They are more likely to vote because look at their lives. There is shit blowing up everywhere. You wouldn’t be more inclined to try and change that? So of course the youth who lives in suburban America, whose parents work 9 to 5s regardless of who’s office is a bit more apathetic. I’m not saying to not vote, I’m just saying your idealism is fogging up reality.
