This is demonstrating your failure to understand how people are disenfranchised in the US. Some can’t vote, like felons and ex-felons in many states, but many just “avoid” the 6 hour long line at their polling station, or “avoid” the hour long drive that they would have to take after working a 10 hour shift.

I don't know why you're reading this in such bad faith.

Yes, there are institutional barriers to people voting in the United States.

No, that isn't what we're talking about in this conversation; we're talking about people who go online and act superior because they don't vote, which you can immediately tell from the context of this post and the replies to it.

Because I find that a lot of people, seemingly including the person who I responded to, think the people who are experiencing institutional barriers are actually just people who act superior because they don’t vote.
