We live in a country where at least forty million people (probably a lot more now, since that stat was from 2016) can't afford to miss a day of work.

If taking a day off to vote means missing a rent payment, you wouldn't vote either. The problem isn't the voters, unless we're talking about the 98% that keep voting Democrat or Republican no matter the record. The problem is that both major parties have made it deliberately inconvenient and difficult to vote in the first place.
