I can’t relate directly to Gaza non-voters. But I remember the first woman’s march during 2017, and I asked several people who went if they voted. about 3/5 said no. Apparently protesting/marching but not voting is how you win elections in these people’s minds.
Sadly it seems APPEARING to care is more important than actually protecting our country. I guess they have a lot in common with the majority of elected democratic politicians. Maybe people will have a wake up call after this but I’m not hopeful. I will however keep hoping AND striving for a better future.
yep. 100%. they legit don’t give a fuck, but everything they do is about appearing to care. it’s deeply cynical approach to politics. actual polciy and law making don’t matter, lip service to the cause du jour is everything
i don’t think it was this bad 10-20 years ago. social media hypercharged that reality is nothing more than appearances and truth and substance have zero value. and the populace laps it up like candy.
