      Generally, the more people vote, the more republicans lose. “Get out the vote” is an anti-republican message in effect, which republicans know and it’s why they try to stop people from voting.

      Instead of, you know, being electable.

        The Dems have a similar thing going on. It’s not “vote for me because I’m a great option”, it is “vote for me or democracy dies!”. If I only ever had one choice, then democracy is already dead.

      More people in general support Kamala’s policies than Trump’s. If every eligible voter voted, he’d lose, even considering people voting for third parties.

      Yeah it’s a funny sign but ultimately useless. People who have lived through the last nearly decade dominated by Trump who still aren’t voting are either so disengaged that they just don’t see fighting Trump as an existential crisis or (and this is a much smaller group) see the system as so inherently fucked that they’re just not partaking in it.

      But maybe nobody cares for analysis ruining a perfectly funny lawn sign.

      (Disclaimer: these are just my thoughts on non voters, not my own position. I will be voting, and not for a racist, rapist, fascist)
