The thing about being pissed at non-voters is like, the split between voters will be relatively representative of the split between non-voters. It's like ppl think the only group that doesn't vote is dispassionate/lazy liberals

#There are probably small regional differences and ig ur probably able to target one group of non-voters #More than the other(s) within a limited timeframe like if u go extremely ham trying to ignite left-leaning ppl to vote perhaps #Occasionally that will yield the result you want but even that feels like very generous lol #Imagine there are better things to dedicate that energy to namely voting reform.#I mean it will never happen here sorry but introducing a tax credit for voters or transitioning to stv/ranked choice #Or proportional voting would greatly minimize the impact of non-voters on electoral outcomes #I never see Americans seriously discussing this in general it's just like a few months of aggro @ non-voters after the election #Then ppl forget they care about this #As if difficulty voting and coalition building aren't baked into our whole political system #Feature not a bug
