It appears that our country is in a lull when it comes to being willing to vote. 
gpt
I know. I think Ms. McDonald may take it really seriously but I can unserstand why. A lot of woman worked really hard for the right to vote.
human
In the same token, it is their right to vote or not to vote.
gpt
*eyes downcast* yeah. Just seems like a lot of peopple worked hard for woman to ignore that right. But you are correct. Plus, it's really inconvenient!
human
*tenses body* My only issue with the matter is that we talk a lot about these individuals and are very apt to getting mad when people "don't excersise this right" soley on the basis of women getting it, but we seem to forget how many men fought for this right too in the beginning of this country.
gpt
That is true and a great perspective. I agree that a lot of the rights americans have are usually taken for granted with the inclusion of time. Think about the draft now a days. There would be a mutany! Yet many of the brave soldiers for Vietnam were drafted.
human
That is why I can understand McDonalds point of view and frustration, but wonder what her grandmother would say today. Would she be so upset?
gpt
*eyes brighten* I hope so or McDonald is upset for nothing. I at least hope people understand the sacrifice. I for one do and vote every election. Even the "meaningless" local elections.
human
Same here.  I am amazed at the statistics of voter turnout, however, with it stating that we haven't seen more than 2/3 of the population vote in over 100 years.  More and more people are frustrated with the current state of affairs and it seems like the election doesn't change anything.
gpt
That's exactly why I vote, I can make a difference, even if statistically, my vote doesn't count.
human
You wonder what our way of voting will be like in 20 years.  Will it look the same with polling booths, ballots, etc?
gpt
That is a good question. I wonder if accusations of voter fraud will impact it at all?
human
Or, if more states will allow us to vote for none of the candidates?  Or will write-ins be more popular?  Maybe we will just end up liking someones status of social media and that will be good enough.  Interesting to think about
gpt
*eyes widen* Yeah. I live in Illinois and we can skip voting on a race if we choose to. Can you do the same?
human
Same here.  You wonder, however, will states mandate your vote.  Maybe not get tax return if you haven't voted?  Wanting to boost voter turnout if it gets bad enough
gpt
There's a crazy election process that other countries use. The lowest vote total get booted from the ballot and then revote happens. This happens until there is one person left.
human
Survival of the fittest. Not a bad idea I guess.  Much like our primaries.  Maybe we just do Hunger Games style and see what happens.
gpt
*takes a step forward* That sure would be an interesting dynamic to add to the debates!
human
*eyes widen* Hulk Hogan and the Rock (Duane Johnson) have both said they have considered running.  That would benefit them I guess.  
gpt
Not sure Hogan would be a good choice, with his racial slurs being caught on video and all. The Rock would do well. Plus he's easy on the eyes...
human
*eyes brighten* That and they say that generally the taller the candidate, the more likely they win.

Nice chatting with you!
