23. The more voters that come out to vote
Fri Sep 22, 2023, 09:58 AM

The more the crazy vote gets diluted and they lose.

The majority of people in the US are not crazy. But because living in this capitalist hell requires so much time, work and constant effort, a lot of people can't squeeze out the time and effort needed to jump through the hoops for vote registration and then follow up with voting.

The people who make sure they come out to vote are the crazies. Instead of just politics, they have the added incentive of having a psychological need to tear down democracy, destroy liberals or identify with the craziest politician running.

Now not everyone who makes sure they vote are crazy. But when normal people are disenfranchised and discouraged from voting with threats or intimidation, its quite easy for them to think that 2 hours waiting in line can be better used.

But it's really not true. Voting is the best use of your time if you want things to get better. The crazies know it, now the rest of us have to get out there.

Also, the more people vote, the harder it is to rig the election.
