And low turnout is caused by low voter enthusiasm, and low enthusiasm is caused by poor candidates, and poor candidates are made by poor policy.

I suspect social media influences voters somewhat. Or at least those who seek to suppress voter turn out believe that. I think it's important to take a stand for Democracy and remind people what is worth fighting for. We can energize people by reminding them that democracy is the most powerful tool we have to create a better future.

Whoops, I mean, low enthusiasm is caused by -checks notes- principled leftists? Wait that can’t be right

There is nothing principled about letting Trump, a fascist, take office and commit ethnic cleansing and green light genocide. In fact, there is nothing particularly leftist about it either. It sounds like accelerationism to me.
