I didn't vote for years because I was busy trying to keep my head above water and I just couldn't wrap my head around politics. I had my own shit to deal with during that time.
And here's the long version - for those that are interested.
It's one day, with most states allowing mail-in in advance. You have no excuse for not fulfilling your duty as a citizen to ensure least negative outcome of elections.

So does every other fucking adult, and now we have even more shit to deal with, thanks for that
Don't berate people like this man
It takes one day to do the actual voting. It takes a lot more time to figure out who to vote for.
Depending on where you are, it also takes some effort and coordination to ensure you register to vote, verify you are still registered by the deadline, and to ensure you understand what will be on the ballot before you show up and have the necessary documents when you get there. I do live in a place the Heritage Foundation considers high in "election integrity", so they made a lot of barriers to vote where I am, and I could theoretically get why busy people have a hard time prioritizing it.
Everyone should invest that time.
He's saying he didn't even know what was happening. I bet trump won 2016 because in some peoples minds "it's boll clintons wife vs the guy from the pizza hut ads....well I LIKE pizza!"
Before trump won, his "policies" weren't well known. It's hard to remember, but when he won, people were surprised that the joke candidate won. I'm sure some people clueless to politics did it for the lulz.
