Those are just the people that vote. If we didn’t have MLs telling each other that voting is useless maybe the election results would be different.

  • A: we outnumber them
  • B: we don't
  • A: try democracy

I disagree that we don’t outnumber them. We absolutely do. If good people stop saying voting is pointless and encourage people to vote instead.

Yeah, some people don't vote, but this group also has people from both sides.

  1. that overwhelmingness is unfortunately less overwhelming than you probably think and it is getting worse with time, as russian intelligence continues to influence the online space.
  2. it doesn't matter if they don't vote

Sorry, but people who admit that Russia has an influence and has been propagandizing and encouraging third party or non-voting, are usually the ones who say that voting does matter.
