Quote by Gore Vidal

Fifty percent of people won't vote, and fifty percent don't read newspapers. I hope it's the same fifty percent.


Fifty percent of people won't vote, and fifty percent don't

Summary

This quote humorously implies that people who do not vote are likely the same individuals who do not stay informed through reading newspapers. The statement highlights a lack of civic engagement and a disinterest in being well-informed about current affairs. By expressing the hope that these two groups coincide, the quote suggests that an uninformed electorate may directly contribute to the significant number of people not participating in the democratic process. Ultimately, it criticizes the apathy and ignorance of a portion of the population.
