The idea of working their asses off for the next four years to identify the 1/3 of the population that are non voters, and educating and engaging with them, instead of winning the 10% of Lynn Cheney fans in the GOP to switch tickets seems like a choice that isn't working. But that's just me. - ThreadSky

Non-voters don’t vote. They won’t vote, regardless of your policies and proposals. For some reason, they like not voting — it’s a point of pride for them. And the more you try to convince them to vote, the more they resist.

You could always try offering people solutions to the problems they have. For instance, most people are struggling to afford housing. If you offer to guarantee housing, people will vote for you. Or healthcare. Offer guaranteed healthcare; single-payer to replace insurance. Problem solved.

maybe Democrats could try giving regular apathetic non voters a reason to vote, and also simply not worry about the fraction of a single percent of non voters who are intractable anarchists

There’s always a reason to vote. And it’s super-easy. In most places, you can even do it by mail, on your own schedule. There’s really no excuse for not voting.

But some people just refuse to do it.

there's a huge divide between "I'm not going to bother taking ten minutes bc i don't think it makes a difference" and the teeny tiny minority of people who would ideologically refuse to vote with a gun to their head

and if you don't recognize that, I cannot help you navigate the world

And that’s why you lot fail. Instead of doing the actual ground work to convince people to vote, you throw it in their faces that they don’t have a choice and must vote or they’re to be blamed for your side not winning. You don’t want to put in the time to actually meet them at their level.

“You lot”? I’m not a politician or a party activist, just someone making an observation.

I am a Democrat, and always vote Dem, because they’re always better than the Republicans. I can’t imagine not voting, because not voting guarantees that my voice won’t be heard. Nobody needs to convince me.

When did they make that choice? They know exactly who isn't voting--they're the people they told to go fuck themselves for daring to suggest that "Republican, only not Drumpf" wasn't good enough. Who know that they actually needed those votes after all?

bezwin.bsky.social•40 days ago

Those people still need to go fuck themselves tho

darrylzero.bsky.social•40 days ago

My favorite part about this is that you have no clue that YOU are why Drumpf is back. *sigh*

Well, enjoy WWIII.

Will I get got as collateral damage by a Canadian insurgent, or evaporated in nuclear fire as other countries Yeet their use-it-or-lose-it response because Trump saw a hurricane on Fox News in Mid May?

I am not sure which fate I like least.

Yes, because I’ve been the one who’s been deciding to run out moderates as democrats and boy is that working. I’m the one that alienated a bunch of potential voters by not having a primary. I’ve voted straight dem my whole life, I’ve done my part. Not my fault they are inept
