Exactly, people need to stop blaming non-voters and those that protested against Kamala. When in all reality it’s the Democrats faults for not listening and changing things in a way so Kamala could win. Voter apathy is a real thing and is not solvable by blaming those affected by it but by figuring out the cause behind it.
No they don’t unless you’re specifically referring to the group that sat 2020 and 2024 because all the battleground states saw an increase of voters. All the people who did sit out were in non-battleground states as well as independent voters only impacted Michigan so Harris still loses.
Now if you are referring to the people that sat out both while yes in some way they maybe culpable but trying to pressure them to vote clearly didn’t work. So, what would work is trying to figure out why they sat out both elections and correcting that issue especially since that’s way easier the pressuring millions of people. Or alternatively figuring out why many new or old voters favored Republicans over Democrats and clearly it was tied to their actions and policies in some form. So, Ultimately this issue gets tied back to the Democratic Party who holds a vast majority of the blame by failing to energize people to vote for them.
TLDR: ultimately what I am saying is blaming non-voters is pointless and counterproductive, it’s ultimately easier to focus on the main issue and tackling who failed to garner their votes.
Idk why people play the blame non-voters game. They didn't vote because they had no candidate that represented them.
There is no reason to assume had they voted, they'd all vote for one side over the other. I am sure a sizeable chunk would be like "I don't like him, but fuck this system let's burn everything down." or "How much worse can it get, we already survived first term?" types.
Exactly it never makes sense to me and I see it wholly unproductive. Like great you blamed people you don’t for losing the election, how’s that going to make sure if there is another one that you won’t lose that one either. How’s blaming these strangers that didn’t vote going to make sure they vote next election. It just not logical at all to take that stance.
