I’ll make you a deal. When voting is a protected, guaranteed, and useful right (everyone who can vote is able to, national holiday for voting or full mail-in, and some voting system better than FPTP) then we can hold people to full account on why they’re not voting. For now, we have MASSIVE voter disenfranchisement bordering on Jim Crow levels of “we’d rather people like you not vote” bullshit going on. Not gonna get mad at the people for not pushing through that every single time they have the ability to vote.
So yeah, you’re still holding the wrong people to account.
I don’t think it helps anyone to absolve their complicity in not doing their civic duty. They still have a choice regardless if theyre “excited.”
There’s zero reason not to turn out. Period.
Unless people truly don’t care and it turns out, a bunch truly don’t.
