Shame
Here's one problem with democrats and democrat constituents. Shame. I don't feel sorry for those who don't vote because they are ashamed to vote on benefit type of issues. Medicade, Snap. Social Security, Free public education. Regulations to protect the health, and, possibly the most important, vote to protect the constitutional rights of due process and justice for all. If you can't arise above lessor issues, such as the ones that only affect you, to unite over the most important issues of your lifetime, then so be it.
Don't be ashamed. Being on food stamps, other benefits, disability payments, homeless, because you are a part of this society as much as anyone.
The truth has become, along with freedom of speech, like a sack full of kittens thrown into the swamp. There is plenty of reactive, oppositional talk to every notorious and anti-humanitarian political lesson out there, but, sadly, we are trapped in what scientists might describe as a heat dome, translated to non-scientific life, a virtual imprisonment of freedom to anything, except singular and defenseless amelioration of our consciousness. In other less wordy words, were fucked.
The land has been confiscated and redistributed, the politics, democratic or even revolutionary defense of ideals has been thwarted by government, solutions controlled by capital or political interests and not by necessity or practicality or even common sense, the institutionalized political process has been dismantled, and even terminology that historically had significance, such as international law, ethnic cleansing, genocide, Justice for all, due process, human rights, and many others, have become like the Tower of Babel.
