    Those that do not vote don’t seem to vote meaningfully different from voters.

    This is to be expected, as non-voters either don’t care to vote as they have their own problems, or have a general mistrust of the voting system. These traits are not specific to progressives or conservatives, so they don’t skew the outcome meaningfully.

    As much as i would like it, there is no 1/3 of the population that is made from antinatalist communists just waiting for the signal.

      America is doing something wrong to have so many fail to vote

      Australia has 90 to 95% voter turnout

      We hold elections on weekends

      We use a single transferable vote, so you can safely vote for who you actually support

      We have a rule that you must vote, enforced by a tiny fine
