1. La Apatía del Votante y el Deber Cívico.
El archivo refleja una profunda frustración con la baja participación electoral, señalando que la abstención es el mayor bloque de votantes. Se critica duramente a quienes no votan por pereza o nihilismo, recordándoles que el voto es un deber cívico y la única forma de mantener el derecho a la queja.
- A large part of the problem is people who are eligible to vote dont vote.
- Many people are fkg lazy to get their ass to vote. My neighbor didnt vote he said his vote didnt count. He is a fkup.
- Dear god people. Vote! you are not allowed to complain if you do not vote.
- The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. Pretty sure not voting at all constitutes as nothing.
- We can use this as an example now when people say they dont vote because it doesnt count anyway.
2. Obstáculos y Ataques a los Derechos Electorales.
Se identifican múltiples barreras que dificultan la votación, desde problemas de accesibilidad para personas con discapacidad hasta la falta de tiempo para los trabajadores. Además, se denuncia que los oponentes políticos buscan activamente suprimir el voto mediante tácticas como la eliminación del voto por correo y la desinformación.
- They know they cant win if everyone votes, so they want to disenfranchise as many people as possible.
- Mail in voting provides crucial ballot access for people with disabilities, seniors, and voters who lack reliable transportation.
- I spend my time asking people to put out ramps and fighting to even get into the building. You nondisabled people need to start caring about this.
- The intent is to have people push back so marshal law can be declared and the midterms can be disregarded.
- Rs want single-day voting. But. They dont want it to be a holiday. Who does that affect?? working people that cant afford to miss one single hour of work.
3. La Necesidad de Mejores Candidatos y Educación Cívica.
Muchos participantes expresan su desilusión con los candidatos y partidos, sintiendo que sus representantes no luchan por sus intereses o que el sistema bipartidista solo ofrece "el menor de dos males". Se argumenta que la solución pasa por presentar candidatos más inspiradores y mejorar la educación cívica para que los votantes tomen decisiones informadas.
- If you have a genuinely exciting candidate, people will turn up to vote. This isnt a difficult one.
- Whats the point in voting for these people if theyre just going to continually cave? seriously. Whats the point?
- We need more civics education, sure, but thats been perpetually true.
- We need more people that are worthy of our votes. Who actually fight for us for real.
- We need to stop electing people simply for the letter after their name.
4. Votando por Intereses, Emociones o Estrategia.
El análisis del comportamiento del votante revela que muchas decisiones se toman por razones que van más allá de la lógica política, incluyendo el tribalismo, la emoción o el deseo de "fastidiar" al oponente, incluso si esto va en detrimento de los propios intereses del votante. Se menciona la dificultad de convencer a las personas que votan consistentemente en contra de su bienestar.
- People dont vote against their interests, they just have a different set of priorities than you imagine.
- Convincing stupid people to vote against their own best interest has been a feature of democracy since its beginning.
- The working people who blindly vote r dont give a fuck about getting screwed over. Theyd rather lose and make their life shitty if it means owning the liba.
- The lesser of two evils is how you get 85 million people not voting in the first place.
- I hope people understand that votes are values. People need to go on record as to their values.
