— 🦦Marie 🦥 (@NoWay7790) September 11, 2024So I was sitting in a Dr.'s waiting room this morning, and there was a woman there (younger than me, from appearances) on her cell phone, talking loudly (as people on cell phones do), and it became apparent she was talking about the debate last night. Specifically, she was talking about the allegations of immigrants eating cats and ducks. I'll add she was a black woman, but she was complaining about the claims these allegations were racist. She couldn't see it, and it upset her such claims were being made, because they were baseless, and the real problem was people eating pets. That's when I knew she was assuming that the stories were true. Classic "low information voter," IOW.
And then she went on and averred she probably wasn't going to vote for either candidate anyway, and from her tone and her conversation I inferred she seldom voted at all, because, you know, no candidate ever met her high standards. Which is really a way of saying voting doesn't matter at all, or who's in office doesn't matter at all, and frankly, what're ya gonna do with folks like that? Except, as I say, it's probably the majority of Americans, who can't be bothered to vote, ever. Which, as often as not, is a much a good thing as it is a bad thing.
And that's the way it is....
