Okay but are you saying you’ll vote, or are you saying you’ll canvass and provide other material long term support? I vote, of course, it’s a 15 minute commitment where I am. I sure as hell won’t give the process my full time and attention.
This is the difficult thing when discussing this issue. People like to discuss it as if it’s only about voting.
In this case there are three major positions: electoralism; just vote; refuse to vote.
The issue being mentioned in the OP is electoralism, and people are in the comments thinking we’re talking about whether or not to vote, which we’re not.
Also in general when you look at who doesn’t vote, you’ll find it’s not coming from a position of privilege. It’s the most vulnerable communities that tend not to vote, because they are usually vulnerable because they’ve been neglected or even attacked from both sides of the aisle, and they are also often gerrymandered to the point their vote literally wouldn’t matter.
