(10,496 posts)If you'd like to know why, read the multitude of posts about it. You can't make people feel like their vote doesn't count, you can't use backroom politics to change things after the voters have spoken without ending up with less voters. People feel demoralized, disregarded, and their voices ignored in favor of the wealthy and powerful. This is how you shrink your base, not grow it.
Those of us who are committed will vote because we know what the choices are. But apparently, the wealthy, powerful and connected have different rules, and if they don't like the choice, they just change it.
And that's why some people are definitely going to stay at home. They've seen that movie before, day after day in their real lives. It's not Democrats, Independents, Bidenbros or Berniebros. It's people who wash their hands of the whole process because "it's dirty" or "they're all crooks " or "they don't care what we think" and they see this as the evidence of that. It's called voter apathy, not somebodybros.
