Discussion Have you ever regretted not voting or, for the choice you made in a vote?

Firstly to say- I'm not very political at all. I pretty much never vote because I don't trust any of them- mainly. But, I suppose I don't really know who to trust exactly. Even if one person's policies sound better than another's, I have no confidence they will keep their word.

I just wondered though- with so many suffering- not that one vote likely makes a huge difference but still- have you ever regretted not voting? Have you had the experience of regretting who you voted for? I wonder if more people regret not voting- if only to try to prevent certain people from gaining power.

Do you believe we should all vote? Do you think it's more responsible to at least have a basic grasp of politics and where we stand?

I regretted not voting in my country, but I don't vote because no one explained to me how to vote, my parents never taught me any practical stuff like that and my brain is too fried in order for me to figure out how it works.

I definitely regret not voting last year (USA). I was planning to - had changed my party to Democrat (even though now I'd consider myself a socialist).

The agoraphobia/fear of being seen got to me and I stayed home. I hate it.
