Well the one thing I would strongly advocate for then, is that you make a concerted effort to understand why people feel the things that they feed and believe the things that they do, and demand that “your” politicians and political enterprises put addressing those issues in a material and substantial way front and center.
The denial of peoples lived experience is central to the failures of modern neoliberal ideologues; like you, they are disinterested in criticisms of their own approaches to politics, because it calls into question their entire ideology. In doing so they create the surface for right wing nationalist, reactionaries to come in, speak to peoples grievances, and misdirect that energy.
Not understanding and acknowledging that people do feel pain, are struggling, and maybe do have valid reasons for not participating in the political process is part-and-parcel to precisely how and why right wing movements have gained such significant traction.
I mean yeah once again thats your view point. I still stand by the fact that the non-voters in the US fell asleep at the wheel. Like I have said a few times before when the rights messaging leading up to election was as blatantly fascist and racist then what is currently happening in the US is hugely because of the non-voters fault and they need to take blame for their inaction in allowing it to happen.
I still stand by the fact that the non-voters in the US fell asleep at the wheel.
To be clear, the point that I am making is: if the above is your point, then you both a) do not understand how elections function; and b) are contributing to the rise of right wing nationalism by giving them the opportunity to co-opt disenfranchised voters by blaming them instead of understanding why they dont vote.
In case you did not notice but right wing fascism is already there in the US. It’s too late for you guys, the only thing that can stop this is the non-voters losing more rights until they are personally affected, then they will wake up and realise their mistake. The only question that remains is will it be too late.
The US is a cautionary tale for the rest of the world that in order to have a democracy you have to participate and pay attention in order to preserve it.
Or, it’s a cautionary tale that when the political system fails to support its people, they become disenfranchised and easily manipulated.
Keeping telling the non voters that they’re wrong for not voting. I’m sure they’ll find your obtuseness and unwillingness to understand very convincing.
You are a hole the boat when it comes to stopping right wing movements.
