I am surrounded by engineers and scientists… more than half of them dont vote beacause " this does not affect me". Frustrates me so much. This are educated people, relatively speaking. Maybe because they are still well-off economically? I don’t know. I don’t understand how they are so uninterested.
I’m not saying this is always the case, but if a coworker or someone i know in a professional context asks me a political question I will say I have no strong opinions despite the opposite being very very true. Others may say this to strangers or to people who aren’t their close personal friends.
