Give me a reason somebody would choose to not vote against fascism not rooted in luxary.
Ok I do have to ask you know it's luxury right? No judgement but English your first language?
And people the average person that has never left their state and can't afford anything nice other than to sleep. Does not see it that way.
They can be literally working to stay alive. Trying to keep up with costs of existence, and election is not a holiday it's a working day and most employees aren't allowing you off to vote. Yes, there are workarounds and such but they are not easy to circumnavigate and in some states straight up not exist.
You are asking people who see no better existence that will work either way but probably suffer more to battle upstream against lack of polling places, options and even a good choice to go out or you will blame them for not doing enough work.
That is privilege of not knowing a life other than your own.
Its interesting that I talked about people choosing to not vote, and you decided to respond instead with giving examples of people who are being deprived of that ability to vote.
What do you think is the cause of the disconnect between what you and I are talking about?
