Well, yes, 'Truth.' If you count all those under 18, all those otherwise legally denied the ballot, and all those too apolitical or antipolitical to ever bother registering -- then, yes, you can find a majority not voting, I suppose.


But my point remains that even these nonvoters still run the full gamut from left to right. They're not all closet anarchists by a long shot. Some are disgusted with elections because David Duke and the KKK are not to be found on their local ballot.

And among those registered to vote, you've still often got a majority, numbering in millions, going to the polls, and some of them even agree with some of the nonvoters that they've only got 'fraud candidates' and biased or rigged rules.

But they go anyway. And let's say a comparable number don't, and it ebbs and flows as to whether the do's and the don'ts are bigger one year or another.

Let's grant all that.

Then, still, what's your point?

I think my questions posed to 'Bart' still stand.

If you're not into entirely boycotting elections, but want to find a new and better way to fight in that arena, at least in the shorter run, then welcome to the club. We're on the same side, even if we differ over details.

But if you think we're in a revolutionary situation where we need to encourage insurrection over bourgeois elections, or that even if we aren't, we should still cede voting to the right and the fascists, then make your case.
