Do you think all of the 90 million people who didn't vote are in such a poor position that they can't sit on their couch for 1 hour 2-3 times a decade to cast a mail in ballot?
This isn't some small marginalized group, it's nearly 40 percent of the voting population. I mean, I just think that if you can't do the bare minimum civic duty for your country because you are not excited enough for the candidate, it says a lot about your character.
And voter accessibility is easier than ever, this was demonstrated by the fact that millions of more people voted in the previous election. Mail in, drop boxes, early voting, etc are more and more available. In 2020, 72% of the votes cast were done either early, by mail, or absentee.
North Carolina, a red state, has online voting for blind or otherwise disabled people, mail in ballots, weeks of early voting, absentees voting, on site voter registration, automatic registration with the DMV, etc, had 400k MORE eligible voters and 200k less ballots cast than 2020.
Absentee ballots are mailed out months in advance, meaning you have months to mark the form and send it back.
I mean, I just fundamentally disagree, I think that people who don't vote, generally don't care, there are so many resources available, and saying that it's some individual persons (Harris) fault for 90 million people failing to do their job, is just dumb.
The actual reality, is that most people are inconsistent voters and they just can't be bothered most of the time.
The fact that you think voting only takes an hour is proof that you have a highly privledged view of elections.
Secondly, I repeat, by turning your hatred towards disaffected victims of the oppressive system we live in, rather than the perpetuants of the system and the system itself, is a lost cause. What's your goal? To get one or two more people to vote? Why not get the Democrats to actually run on popular policy, encouraging tens of millions more to vote? By failing to analyze problems correctly, you fail to come up with solutions.
