Something I have noticed over my many years of voting is that the conservatives always vote in every single election under the sun while we liberals/progressives are lazy. Considering that now almost every registered voter is able to vote by mail, it couldn't be any simpler to vote.
It's a damnable shame that Civics is no longer taught in our high schools. People need to accept their responsibility to ensure that we continue to have a democratic form of government. The alternative is authoritarian fascism.
"Considering that now almost every registered voter is able to vote by mail, it couldn't be any simpler to vote." You're absolutely right about the damages being caused through lack of Civics classes in high school. However, your statement about how simple it is to vote by mail is true in only a small number of states.
"By the numbers: Eight states and Washington, D.C., automatically mail ballots to all registered voters. Twenty-eight more states allow voters to request a mail-in ballot without needing to give a reason why they need or want one.

A handful of states allow mail-in voting, but only with an excuse — typically age, illness, being a caretaker or being out of town on Election Day." https://www.axios.com/2022/10/30/voting-by-mail-2022-midterm-elections
I gather from your comment that the majority of states allow mail-in ballots. It is quite simple to go online and arrange it.
