Why Do We Vote? Why SHOULD We Vote? | Politics with Paul #113

Voting is often treated as a simple civic duty, but the reasons people vote are more varied than that. In this episode of Politics with Paul, we look at why we vote in the first place, whether voting can be considered rational, and five common motives that shape turnout. The discussion evaluates those motives and explores the blurry lines between altruism and self-interest, as well as between duty, belonging, and social approval. It closes by asking why understanding our motives for voting matters at all.
