    you can count all the people who don’t vote in the stupid category, so actually more than half.

      You need to factor effects from gerrymandering and other forms of vote suppression. I think there’s a lot of wealth trapped in the hands of a few very shitty people, which has allowed them to shape / distort perceptions of just how “popular” their values really are.

      Remember that a lot of people couldn’t vote. Either because of voter registration rolls getting purged or disenfranchisement from a criminal charge.

      Well there’s also a lot of people that can’t vote because they can’t afford to take time off work, especially if they can’t mail in their votes.
