“It’s kinda immature if I talk about it and I’m not fully educated, but I do have an opinion, and I’ll keep it to myself,” she explained, via Page Six.

“Not voting isn’t crazy, in my opinion, at all because if I don’t feel like I have the exact education for what I’m voting for, how is it right for me to vote for something I’m not completely educated on?”

Though she “could educate” herself on the candidates, platforms and issues, she thinks it’s pointless.

“Why am I doing that if I genuinely really don’t care? I’m just honest. I don’t care to vote if I don’t know exactly what’s going on. I don’t think that’s wrong. And I completely stand on that, and I stand by it,” she said.

“We all know this. You can’t vote until you’re 18. I’ve never voted. If I don’t want to vote, I don’t have to vote. And if I don’t want to be in politics, I don’t have to be in politics,” she went on, adding she doesn’t want to do her “research” or “educate” herself on something that doesn’t interest her.

“I do have an opinion. I have an opinion on what I feel is right because of what I’ve been seeing. And just, like, I feel like one of the voters is just a mess. I mean, one of the — sorry — one of the people, the runners, [the] candidates. See? I’m telling you, I’m not educated. I’m a little bit stupid.”

When told that her “privilege” was showing by a commenter, she said: “Like, what? Because I don’t want to vote? I’m not educated on it. Maybe next year I’ll vote.” Watch the clip on The Shade Room.
