Until the election has passed and they haven’t voted, only then are they nonvoters. Before the election, calling them nonvoters is just an excuse to ignore them.
Again, they weren’t nonvoters until after the election. They were ignored before the election.
Now keep ignoring what I’m saying and repeat yourself. I voted in 2024, but that won’t stop you from declaring me a nonvoter so you can ignore me. It’s way easier than listening.
I know you aren’t a nonvoter, and I never said you were one.
Nonvoters include people who don’t bother to register and people who say they don’t plan to vote. So they can be identified before an election.
And despite what many seem to think, the vast majority of nonvoters would not become voters even if a candidate had done X, whether X is “support Palestine” or “support trans people” or “stop talking about trans people” or whatever else.
People love to project their personal politics onto nonvoters, but the fact is that nonvoters are nonvoters mainly because they do not care about politics.
It’s really no different than other human activities. For example, I don’t watch NASCAR races because I do not care about NASCAR. And NASCAR drivers ignore me, which is fine. Because even if they were highly interested in me, there is literally nothing they could do that would make me want to watch NASCAR.
I am a NASCAR “non-watcher”. Well, turns out lots of people feel the same about politics as I do about NASCAR.
Until the election has passed and they haven’t voted, only then are they nonvoters. Before the election, calling them nonvoters is just an excuse to ignore them.
No, there is a specific term for people like that: “First time voters”. And they are courted by all parties.
It’s never occurred to you that parties need to actually try to retain voters to keep them from staying home in disgust?
Again, the vast majority of nonvoters are politically disengaged. They don’t stay home out of disgust, they stay home because they don’t care.
