    I don’t believe I have treated you with hostility, but please forgive me if I have.

    But I must ask - does “not voting” discredit the illusion of democracy? To who? How?

    Do you think there is a meaningful number of people who currently believe the statement “American democracy is working” but would cease to believe that when faced with voter turnout statistics?

      It takes 12% of a population to intact political change. So maybe. But no I don’t believe America has much class consciousness, the red scare still looms.
