Lots of people don't want be on your flight, and a lot of those on the plane just won't eat.

Amazes me how little understanding there is of non-voters. Both in how large a block they are, and why they don't vote

Also. What is it about politics and airplane metaphors. Everyone seems to use them.
The confusion on non-voters comes because most non-voters elites know are other elites taking dramatic stands for ideological reasons. So it is very political

Yet most non-voters are too detached to care about any of that. For them it isn't a dramatic political statement
The bulk of non-voters is not someone on twitter with a large following who has edgy views, or someone writing op-eds NYTimes.

It is someone who doesn't give a flying fuck about politics because politics doesn't give a flying fuck about them.
