Well, part of the reason is that Republicans keep getting choose their voters rather than the other way around… but even when they cheat, they tend to get away with it because their secondary tactic is so effective: spreading apathy to reduce turnout.
This isn't about apathy.
This is about how pointless it is to "get out the vote" on a not just left leaning, but overwhelmingly left leaning platform, on a post where no one is going to read further who isn't already politically minded.
All that's doing is making people feel like they accomplished something while doing fuck all.
If you actually care, go out and actually do something.
Stop acting holier than thou because you remind people to vote who were already going to. That's the real apathy problem in TX. But instead of maybe getting through to all those apathetic voters you reference, we're just sitting an echo chamber reminding each other to vote
I get your frustration and agree with your points, including the necessity of action. But action starts with words in places like this, which we all then take with us into our real, physical lives. There’s no need to discourage that.
