Should voting be mandatory in the United States?

I voted for the first time in 2024 and the wildest part was how nobody campaigned to me. Every ad was for homeowners and retirees. Politicians chase likely voters, which means young people and poor people get ignored, which means we do not vote, which means we get ignored more. It is a loop. Mandatory voting breaks the loop by force. CIRCLE research shows youth turnout surging only when campaigns actually invest in young voters. If candidates know 18 to 29 year olds will actually show up, they have to talk about rent and wages instead of just Medicare. I am fine being nudged if it means someone finally has to earn my vote.
