    I love how uneducated people didn’t vote at all

    They’re not uneducated. They’re desperate, and they spent the last 8 years watching both parties ignore how much they’re struggling. Why miss a day of work when you know your vote doesn’t matter?

    Also, you need to ditch this smugness if you want to win people to your side.

      Spend 8 years watching both parties ignote their struggles, and then vote for the one that’s actively promising to make them worse?

      Bold move, Cotton.

        Apathetic != uneducated. Plenty of people don’t vote because they can’t be bothered to.

        My own mother refused to register for DECADES because “I don’t want to be picked for jury duty.” Not making that up. I finally convinced her to register after pointing out jury duty also comes from drivers license records.

          So what you’re saying is that your mom was pretty uneducated and only participated in the voting process after you educated her.

            Yup, and the sad part is, I called it before the election. The only reason voter participation was up in 2020 was because Covid restrictions encouraged vote by mail.

            Without the vote by mail push, participation was going to drop, and because the Democrats benefited more from vote by mail, it was going to hurt them.

            Surprise, surprise, that’s exactly what happened.

      No… no they’re uneducated and it’s very much the correct word in this.

      Regular rants “Why won’t Biden just get rid of student debt?” Because the Supreme Court stopped him. Twice. Telling him it’s congresses job.

      “Why hasn’t Biden helped the economy” CHIPS act and moving major manufacturing back to America. Gonna take time for it to spin up after so long of sending jobs out of country but it’s gotta go. Also some of the biggest infrastructure movements since the New Deal despite the Republicans in Congress trying to stop it.

      The big hit during election of people googling “Did Biden drop out?”

      Yea. That’s uneducated.
