“Eligible voters who choose not to vote in presidential elections outnumber the turnout of either political party.”

Sadly, that might be a good thing. Ugh.

Yup. It’s horrific but we could actually be worse off now if eligible voter turn out had been higher in the past. I was just pointing a large number of folks just don’t care, at least enough to vote about it. I think we see more people voting before anyone chooses the hardship and disruption that will come from participating in some sort of widespread civil unrest.

I think the people who care about our culture and the nation, from either side, probably vastly overestimate the number of people who care as much as they do. This is probably an effect of social media and the 24 hour news cycle.
