Honest question: how could I have improved the clarity of my comment to avoid it being interpreted as wrong as you did? I'll rephrase it in bullet points.

  • A Trump voter who doesn't preach is 1 vote for Trump

  • A non-voter who doesn't preach is 1 vote for Trump

  • A Trump voter who preaches is at least 1 vote for Trump as they are actively encouraging others to vote for him. Their vote is the 1 plus the people they might influence

  • A non-voters who preaches is at least 1 vote for Trump as they are actively encouraging others to not vote. Their vote is the 1 plus the people they might influence

So in summary:

People who promoted voting for Trump AND people who promoted not voting are worse than people who quietly voted for Trump. All 3 groups are worse than quiet non-voters.

OC is referring to the non-voting advocates that disappeared from political discussions on Lemmy after the election.
