I’m not blaming them for not voting, I am pointing out the only people who don’t are the ones who have the luxary to not, the ones who believe whatever outcome won’t actually affect them.
If you feel my statement applies to you, than perhaps it does, but if complaining that you get called a fair-weathered believer in democracy is your biggest issue, it kind of proves my point, does it not?
The only people who dont vote for the least bad option are the people who have the luxary not to.

Yeah people have other reasons to not vote. You are coming from a really different entitled place if you think that’s the only reason people don’t vote.
You are making broad sweeping assumptions that put blame on others only. That’s fucked up. It’s not about me or you but everyone in the room.
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?

Give me a reason somebody would choose to not vote against fascism not rooted in luxary.
