Non voters aren't motivated to vote, they're non voters, why would anyone cater to a group that intentionally throws away any influence they could have?

    Thanks, I'll go on and implement a policy to destroy the ability to vote for as many people as possible in as many ways as I can come up with, that way they become non-voters and I don't have to listen to them. Oh wait, that policy is already what's happening.

    Because progressives don't fucking vote and give power to Republicans by doing so. If you refuse to participate in the system then you don't get to be upset when the system disregards you.

    Over several decades, progressives are told to vote for the lesser evil, they do, and then the lesser evil helps the greater evil silence progressive voices, so that progressives eventually find out they can't vote anymore.

    You don't know what you're talking about.

    If progressives voted in every election over the last several decades we'd have a progressive democratic party, but progressives mostly don't vote. You sound like a republican.
