I’m begging you to consider what arguments or incentives will actually be effective at convincing nonvoters to vote.
This smarmy attitude and the reflexive dismissal of nonvoters as people who cannot be helped is counterproductive at best. Risking the further alienation of the people you’re trying to get on your side just to satisfy some need to feel morally superior.
You can’t reason people out of positions they didn’t reason themselves into. Pointing out that the literally opposite strategy by the GOP got us here and that it is not grounded in reality is not some “smarmy” attitude lol
I didn’t say anything about reason, this is rhetoric we’re talling about, and denying the reality that people don’t like being talked down to isn’t going to win friends or influence people.
Again, and please, please listen to me this time.
I’m not telling you or anyone not to vote.
