This is toxic to democracy. People should vote no matter the state where they live otherwise it is only a tiny sliver of the swings that decided who rules the country and this allows for the money influx because you only have to buy/brainwash that sliver.
If a modern democracy manages to have 80% voter turnout you will be surprise how many safe seats will be not so safe.
So just vote - no matter where you live. It is your civil duty.

Are you suggesting that "people who decide to vote" is not a representative sample of the whole population? I am not sure of that, and a quick Google search shows mixed results. > So just vote - no matter where you live. It is your civil duty. I feel no loyalty to my country. I don't give a crap about civil duty. Most people I interact with feel the same way.
