A federal judge has blocked the state of Hawaii from enforcing a recently enacted ban on firearms on its prized beaches and in other areas including banks, bars and parks, citing last year’s landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling expanding gun rights.

    Instead of just flat out hating on them and calling them lazy, maybe do some research into why there are so many non-voters.

    And yes, suppression IS a big enough reason to. Who the fuck on an hourly wage has the luxury of driving/transiting to a distant poll station and wait in line for 9+ hours to vote?

    But hey, if it makes you feel better to dunk on them as “Lazy”, keep at it, that’s sure to convince them /s

    Edit: Forgot to mention that you assume all these non-voters would vote for your party. Based on research, a very sizable portion would not.

      That site didn’t give much info. It says they are hard working people who are underexposed to political info and don’t feel they can decide. Besides that making them fucking morons (sorry), that still doesn’t excuse their inaction.

        I’m guessing you only looked at the summary then.

        It says they are hard working people who are underexposed to political info and don’t feel they can decide.

        That’s not what it said.

        Besides that making them fucking morons (sorry), that still doesn’t excuse their inaction.

        There’s plenty of data there that explains their inaction. Your refusal to read it doesn’t make you right.

        It all comes down to giving people a reason they can understand to take the time to vote.

        Again, asking an hourly wage worker that can barely make ends meet already to travel/transit and then wait 9+ hours in line to vote is completely unrealistic and not something they should be blamed for.

        But hey, like the other guy, keep calling them fucking morons, I’m sure it’ll work out great. /s
