uspol, election culture
My least favorite thing about election culture in the US is when individual people say things like "Make sure to vote!" and don't actually say how they think you should vote. It means one of a few things:
1) they think it's rude to discuss specific policy or candidates
2) they think their position is the "true" majority and if everyone voted it would all be ok
3) they actually don't care how you vote
1 & 3 are morally awful, 2 just seems like hubris

I guess the other assumption could be "people in my own social network (online or offline) are probably somewhat like me and will vote somewhat like me" which is a better assumption than 2 but still... come on, have some bravery, don't be so passive aggressive

@darius and then there’s like the next degree of privilege-apathy where people take the performative middle ground of “ill still be your friend no matter who you vote for because that’s being an adult”
My own network still contains a lot of this, which speaks to my lack of curation...
