  • It's not really about the impact they have, it's about the flaw in logic they have.

    • So why use them as an example of the flawed logic that all non voters have?

      • i often do

        • Why do you focus on leftists often?

          • Ah, i misread your comment

            Then in response to the previous one, I would say they're just a prime example of flawed logic.

            asking why be upset with them when there's other people to be upset about is just whataboutism

            Like yes, all those others are also bad. Doesn't mean I'm gonna cut them any slack.

            • asking why be upset with them when there’s other people to be upset about is just whataboutism

              I don't think so, many people didn't vote, and leftists are an extreme minority in this country, so it's certainly a choice to focus on them and not all non-voters.

              Like yes, all those others are also bad. Doesn’t mean I’m gonna cut them any slack.

              Who's saying anything about cutting slack? Yes all non-voters are to blame, but the meme is about Pro-Palestinians causing the apocalypse, not non-voters.

              It's not whataboutism to ask why one focuses intensely on a small minority, when you admit that the problem is beyond that minority.

              • A small vocal minority that spurred apathy.

                They are sanctimonious while being one of the many architects of our crumbling level of control in our democracy.

                Are they a minority? Maybe but US elections are won and lost on an increasingly small number of constituents.

                That being said I dislike all forms of non-voting but at least I might be able to convince them.
