    This is what decades of people sitting out gets us. 1/3 of the country does not vote. Repubs are able to run further and further right fascists because their base will actually vote.

      Maybe more people would vote if candidates ran on platforms that benefited actual people. It’s been decades of neoliberals shoveling money to corporations and the wealthy at the expense of normal people, so no wonder they dont care to vote.

        Like how everyone came out en masse to vote Bernie in the primaries and therefore he was the candidate in the general election for 2016 and 2020.
