Staying informed can be a full time job - especially with all the disinformation of today. Many people can't do it. A lot of people are trying to surivive on $5.15/hr supporting family. They don't have time to worry about politics.

"To me, someone who doesn't care about who is elected really doesn't deserve the freedoms afforded by our Constitution. "

Easy for you to say. I assume you're financially stable and make a decent living. You have free time to post here, which is a luxury.

Some people simply have no interest in it. That doesn't mean they don't deserve rights. It's an INTEREST. Not all people have the same interests. To us it may be very important, but to others maybe another interest is. Let's look at this way...

"To me, someone who doesn't care about what forest is cut down really doesn't deserve the air they breathe"

"To me, someone who doesn't care about starving people in africa really doesn't deserve the food they eat."

"To me, someone who doesn't care about chinese slave labor really doesn't deserve the clothes they wear."

"To me, someone who doesn't care about saving electricity really doesn't deserve the energy they use"

All of those things are important. See how it changes based on what YOU consider most important? Try worrying about all of them and see how long you stay mentally stable and how much time you have for anything else.
