    “I don’t live in a swing state so my vote does not matter anyways”.

    I am not a US citizen, that is just something I picked up from a random interview of a non-voter a while ago. I don’t know if that is a common opinion, but it made sense to me in explaining political disinterest.

      It has to do with the electoral college and how it limits voting power. So it contributes to political disinterest.
