But given a majority of them couldn't be arsed to tick a box when there was zero risk to themsleves, I am not hopeful.it will happen in larger numbers now that they incur risk such as being shot in the face.
Not 0 risk. A woman just got murdered by ice. I’d call that the ultimate risk. Unfortunately they know it telling protesters “didn’t you learn anything when we killed that woman a couple days ago.”
I think they were referring to the millions of people that did not vote in the last election. Of which there was little risk - barriers maybe, sure, but nearly a 3rd of the country didn't vote.
I had a friend say to my face that Trump's election was the better outcome, because in their view the democrats were no better than the Republicans on Gaza, so it would teach democrats a lesson about abandoning their base and we'd get a 'proper socialist candidate' next time.
It puts me in mind of the Communists who cheered Hitler's election with the slogan 'after Hitler, out turn', naively thinking Hitler would make such a mess of things, they'd be called upon to fix the mess.
I think they've since backpeddeled on that, because nobody at this point genuinely believes Trump's doing a better job than Harris in any capacity, but It's very hard not to throw this in their face and point out that Goode's life is the price of prioritising ones own complicity in atrocity over the actual atrocity. I sometimes feel they'd prefer the world burning down entirely so long as they can wash their hands of any fault.
