Alabama Barker admits to feeling unprepared to vote due to lack of education
Travis Barker‘s daughter says she’s not educated enough on the issues to cast a ballot this year … and, she doesn’t have the interest in politics to try to figure it out.
Alabama Barker — TB’s 18-year-old daughter, who he shares with Shanna Moakler — took to Instagram Live Thursday to tell her followers she doesn’t plan to vote in the November election.
Basically, Alabama says she’s not educated on the issues … and, even though she has some opinions on politics, she doesn’t know enough to feel comfortable hopping in a voting booth next month.
AB says it’s bad for people to vote if they don’t know what they’re voting for … and, while she could educate herself, she asks what’s the point of that if she “genuinely really” doesn’t care.
Alabama does mention she only recently turned 18 … so, she’s never voted before — and, says that’s another reason she’s not educated on the issues.
Barker says if she doesn’t want to vote or get involved in politics, that’s her choice … a statement tons of her fans are blasting as super privileged.
Alabama turned 18 last December … so, maybe she’ll get more interested in politics as time passes — but, right now it’s an abstention for the 18-year-old.
Anyhoo, Alabama’s not casting a ballot in California, New York, Alabama or anywhere else … and, she’s not interested in taking the criticism for it.
