Wording matters. We should want people to listen and join. This has been making the rounds without a great deal of backlash. (50501.chat)

You are absolutely right.

I don't know how we reach the non voters. This has been a problem since I've been alive. If everyone voted, the Republican party would cease to exist in two cycles. Their bullshit is deeply unpopular.

I hate to sound defeatist, it's just that I've been listening to "if only more people voted....," if only the old generation died.... "," if only young people got involved... " for over 4 decades and nothing has changed.

I also love OPs post, it's also 100% true, but again, those that need to hear it won't.

It's an argument for compulsory voting. Or at least giving everyone a day off on polling day, or having it at a weekend. So that won't happen.
