      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.
