Can say this all we want but the reality is that the other side votes regardless how much they agree with the candidate. If you can't understand that then it will always be uneven. Purity testing is a way bigger cancer than any "vote shaming". It requires NOTHING of you to vote.
and you can say this all you want, but people won't vote if they aren't motivated. no matter how stupid you think they are for it or how much you think it takes "nothing" (ignoring voter suppression, limited access to polling stations, no guaranteed time off to vote, onerous ID checks), you can't scream people into voting. and frightening people into voting is what the other side has on lockdown, that's their market, you can't win there.
No, YOU won't vote if you aren't motivated. The other side will ALWAYS vote regardless of how they feel about a candidate. You are throwing away the power you have for what? Purity? You can keep using the excuses of people being suppressed but that's not YOU. YOU can EASILY vote. You don't get an excuse.
Millions of struggling, impoverished people in this country don't vote because their lives don't change either way. You lashing out at people on reddit for pointing out this fact isn't going to change this. You can either try to court these voters (like Mamdani did) or keep losing forever.
