minus-squaregivesomefucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 hours ago… How are you using exit polls to find out about why non-voters didn’t vote? Did everyone say they were politically engaged as they were leaving a polling location? Or are you using logic to determine everyone that just voted was politically engaged, and those who didn’t are politically disengaged? Cuz like, yeah, obviously that’s true… But what matters is why they’re politically disengaged and how we can get the to engage again. A very very easy way, would be to make sure the next candidate agrees with Dem voters more than Republican voters.
