a word for people criticizing non-voters to remember:
you need to be aware that there are people who can’t vote - and i mean this in it’s most literal sense.
in 39 states, there are laws that bar intellectually and developmentally disabled people from voting. this includes - but isn’t limited to - autism, strokes and other brain injuries, down’s syndrome, personality disorders, &etc.
it’s also important to note that less than 20% of voting sites are accessible, thereby keeping many people out completely. as well, there are many people who cannot wait in lines for long lengths of time, or have reliable transportation.
