If this is true, then maybe we should start thinking about events that could be held during voting times that would distract these “lower information” voters from voting. Any suggestions for such events?
Garage sale on the Whitehouse lawn?
There is no such thing as a “low information” voter. Someone who votes because Mars in retrograde is just as legitimate as the vote cast by the head of the dep. of Political Science. The idea that some votes are more legitimate or should count more (or at all), is authoritarianism and anti-democracy.

And he got away with it. Twice.
Isn’t that what put this idiot into office in the first place?
Not to mention the non-turnout of the low-info dipshit that thinks bleating “both sides” is the height of political savvy?
“but her emails[sic].”
The spelling error is the cherry on top.
“But both of the options do a bad thing. I can’t see nuance so that makes them all the same, and I’ll not vote for either.” – 2024’s worst voters.
Wow, never thought I would be nodding along as I read the crap dribbling out of Steve Brannon’s mouth. But, the GOP’s only hope is people who are so ignorant of reality that they can’t see the obvious lies right in front of them.
Of course, one should never underestimate the Democrats’ ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. I could certainly see the DNC sorting out a way to fuck over more populist candidates, handing seats to the GOP.

Honestly, some of the apparent positions of the likes of Chevalier is going to be something the far right tries to smear anyone to the left of Rush Limbaugh with…they spent years acting like “defund the police” ( 🙄 ) was something not only every progressive was for, but was a plank of the Democratic Party. And of course, that phrase was easily distorted into the worst caricature of the left.
I’m just saying - sure, the “centrists” might easily fuck it all up for everyone, but don’t underestimate the power of the terminally online leftist brigade to really fuck it all up, too.
America tends to poll progressive on the issues, but there are certain online types that then do a great job of stepping on rakes and giving the right their talking points.
Most online leftists prefer virtue signaling to winning elections. Many just can’t help themselves from pushing too far when someone doesn’t share their exact priority list or use their preferred buzzwords with 100% accuracy.
I don’t think it’s “most” online leftists; I think it just seems that way because the rest aren’t posting stupid shit.
Unfortunately for the GOP, Black voter turnout in the South in surging right now (sorry for paywall)
LOL, what paywall? If I hit one, I either prefix it with unwall.app/ or right click and have it search archives… https://archive.ph/st1UJ
I guess actually trying to use the 'net kinda sucks on things like ios (and I don’t use Android much, but I think the range of browsers and their features there tend to be better), but on the desktop, paywall is not that much of a thing, except for maybe a handful of places, like maybe substack.
TIL about unwall.app
Sadly, there’s dozens of millions of those.
He’s right in that lower information voters are voters too and need a party that represents them.
He’s wrong in the implied solution that lying to low information voters and screwing them over is the best way to serve them.
