I would ask this of /pol/ but you guys have always come out with more complete ideas than them.

>How can we get the other 70% of america's 300 million citizens to vote?
>Mandatory, Optional, Systematic, whatever, just as long as it works.

Making their vote actually matter would be a good start.

Obvious teenage angsty samefag response.

No vote is going to seem meaningful when you have 300 million of them.

Take out corporate funding of political campaigns, and people won't feel like it's a John Jackson vs. Jack Johnson scenario.

have cadidates that aren't insane
get corporate money out of politics, downgrade corporations so they don't have personhood
make a cap on how much money a person can donate

have candidates that aren't insane or completely bought

make it so people can vote on policies instead of having corrupt senators/congressfags vote

free the media, no censorship, paypal and the banks shouldn't be able to discriminate against wikileaks

destroy fox news

Make voting on anything and everything mandatory, from the county level to the federal level.
You also get the option to have your vote be "I don't care", or say "I am AGAINST (X)", so yo can choose to support, deny, or abstain, but not all at once.

Why would you force everyone to participate in the democratic process? Doesn't seem very democratic to me.

the majority of the population don't care about the majority of the issues, this is why we have a republic (aka representatives).
when you get issues that people do care about, you see significant jumps in voting, such as California's proposition 19. in the case that the issue is important in your day to day life, people educate themselves (or stick to an ignorant belief) and vote.

In my opinion not voting is a good thing, and I wish more people didnt vote. how many sheeple simply vote for 'their' party, or vote based on a article, flier or other piece of media which could be completely spinning the issue. sheeple are DUMB and require all sheeple to vote is would only make the ones in power stonger. (my reasoning: power=money=advertising/public relation = sheeple votes)
