Should voting be mandatory in the United States?

I grew up in Brazil where voting is mandatory for everyone between 18 and 70, and I want Americans to know it is honestly not a big deal. Election day feels like a neighborhood event. You show your ID, you tap in your choices on the machine, you get a little paper receipt, and half the time there is music playing outside the polling place. Nobody I knew ever paid a fine. You just go. When I moved here in 2019 and learned voting was optional, my first American election felt strange, like a party nobody was sure they were invited to. IDEA lists 26 countries with some form of compulsory voting. Most of them are ordinary democracies, not police states.
