Remember an op-ed is a blood pact. Everything the NYT puts out again should be viewed through this lens. They endorsed not voting, and nothing will ever make that not true..

Edit: oh look it was trivial to find a form on their website to let them know what I think.

I didn't get the news that Musk had bought the NYT.

Looking forward to this one guy being held up as representative of the entire 1/3 of Americans who don't vote, as well as third party voters of all stripes.

less other people vote, more worth your vote will have if you vote something others weren't going to vote

I wasn't going to vote but you convinced me that there is an agenda to get me to not vote so now I'm going to vote for trump.

spoilerNot really, but still, why is the assumption that not voting means a vote is lost for democrats?

Mostly because the people that don’t feel represented are overwhelmingly on the left.

You won’t find many right-wing people dissatisfied with the current choices, if they’re extremists they’d vote Trump and if they aren’t they’re probably fine with Biden. The only reason I can think of for a potential Republican voter not going is that they think Trump will win anyway and they don’t need their vote.

So if democrats need those votes from the left, why don't they try appealing to those voters?
