Non voting has been the largest group for several cycles now.

That’s why I differentiated moral abstainers from apathetics who aren’t going to vote no matter what.

I'm becoming more apathetic. You're choosing between two evils. The lesser evil lives in the realm of myth these days.

Become a socialist instead, and work to remove systemic evil entirely.

The margins are close and we need to be able to reach people. Local, state, and federal elections.

Because for a large number of people, they effectively do not live in a democracy. We've known for a long time that the opinions of the poorest 90% of the US population are completely irrelevant to national politics. Millions don't vote because they rationally realize that their votes are meaningless.
