I think what @ggreenwald misses is the argument isn’t that *non-voters* are privileged, it’s that media voices who downplay the importance of routine partisan politics are speaking from a position of privilege (or at times residence in a foreign country). https://theintercept.com/2020/04/09/nonvoters-are-not-privileged-they-are-largely-lower-income-non-white-and-dissatisfied-with-the-two-parties/">https://theintercept.com/2020/04/0...
More broadly there’s a big difference between being too politically disengaged to care about routine partisan politics, and being *so* politically engaged that you dedicate time to doing takes about minimizing the significance of routine partisan politics.
