Whatever. As long as politicians keep promising to respect democracy and serving people then when they will they do the opposite many people will not vote. When some new politicians seems more trusty and bring something new like Mamdani the turnout get bigger . His election has highest voter turnout for an NYC mayoral race since 1969
I’m still trying to figure out what the first half of that is even trying to say, so I’m not sure how to respond to it.
As for running more candidates like Mamdani, you’ll get no argument from me there. I’m happy with his performance so far, and the performance of others like him. The time is ripe for a sea change. People are ready for it.
Even so, sometimes and in some districts, damage control / harm reduction is necessary, and sometimes a strategic vote means voting for the least bad option. Not everyone has a progressive on the ticket, although they should.
But I’d still vote for a milquetoast centrist if the only other option is a mask-off fascist, and it’s wild that some people still see things differently
He’s criticizing the non-voters.
And i blame the system and politcians that allowed so much people to feel so desperate that they decide to not vote
A lot of things can be blameworthy.
If they were that desperate you’d think they would at least cast a vote, even against all hope. That’s what desperation means.
The word you were looking for is resigned. People felt so resigned that they decided not to vote.
